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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
