Just as an FYI - I had three friends get sleeved by Dr Malley office. They loved him and Dr Fearing just not Menorah Hospital :(

Thanks... I kinda know that going in to it. My husband works at menorah and he hates that I have to have it done there. I'll be extra careful and I'm sure he'll be there to take notes and get on people. Lol... I'm trusting that the Lords got my back!

How is everyone doing since their surgery? I hope all is well! I talked with my sister over the weekend and she had the Gastric Bypass 2 years ago. She has met her goal and maintains her weight. I told her my husband, kids and I along with his family will be going on a cruise in December. We discussed how much weight I could lose by then. Little nervous about buying clothes, but want to enjoy the beach. Any suggestions regarding how much weight I may lose. My surgery is August 28th and we fly out on December 19th.

With S-bucks new skinny line and their off-menu secret stuff, there is plenty to have, Panera is just walking the gauntlet of fat and sugar loaded pastries, and their quality of food and Protein is low, imo.

I know several of Malley's band patients and they are all very fond of him, but I didn't know he did the sleeve. Do you know if he has only started doing them recently? I'm pretty sure that about a year ago, the VSG wasn't included in what he offered - but I could be completely wrong (I know a few of his patients who needed revisions and said that the only revision they could have done with him was another band, or RNY).

Other than (maybe) inexperience, my only reservation about Dr. Malley would be that he doesn't appear to be a FACS (something I looked for when "shopping" for a surgeon).

Thanks for the info... He's been doing them for about a year I think. He has another doc (fearing) that does them too. I think they may actually do them together. I had looked at him about a year or so ago when they first started doing them but at that time my ins didn't cover the sleeve, but does now. Unfortunately, I don't have many options as he is the only bariatric surgeon my ins uses and there's no way I could self pay. I've talked to a few ladies on another sleeve forum that have used him and they've done really well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
