Western New York Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi, just wondering if there are any other members from western NY on here? I have been searching high and low for other sleevers who are from around here. I am from Rochester and I will be getting sleeved in mid December. My doctor is Dr. O'Malley.

I have found a lot of patients who have seen Dr. O'Malley but they were all for either lap band or gastric bypass. It actually started to worry me that there weren't any VSG patients. Just because I wonder his success rate with these patients in particular and I can't find anyone who has seen Dr. O'Malley for VSG. Hmm.....

I am from Jamestown NY and I will be having my surgery on 11/27/13 in Erie PA, DR Ali. I will be a revision from lap band to sleeve due to complications with the band.

Good luck Hallen with your up coming surgery!

dp81796 & longtimecoming7, how have you girls been feeling since having the surgery?

I'm excited to be having the surgery in another 3 more weeks but freaking out a bit on the inside too. I first decided to take this route and started this journey in May of this year. I probably had more appointments just over the summertime than I have ever had in my adult life!

Hi there! There were some Buffalo people on here, but everyone got quiet! I'm from Buffalo and was hoping to find some active WNY people with recent or upcoming dates to follow along with. There has to be more of us out there :)

I'm going in on 12/17.

I am from Buffalo, Ny! I was sleeved 10/8. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
