Rochester, NY / Finger Lakes WLS Renaissance Group



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I'm a relatively new member to the club, and would love the opportunity to facilitate a local group. I had my RNY by Dr. William O'Malley at the Highland Hospital Bariatric Surgery Center on January 2, 2015 and recovering well. I am a professional, 55 year old happily married male. I have two adult children and am a management consultant specializing in information technology and business sustainability. I participate in the M.O.N.A.R.C.H. Support group out of Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY.

I'm in Rochester as well. I'm not aware of any specific groups in the area, though. I've been relying on these forums for information and support.

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