How is he as a surgeon? Good bedside manner? Im consdering either Malley surgical or weight loss surgery center.

There are quite a few Dr. Malley patients on the forum and I think all of them can agree that he's a wonderful doctor. He's quiet but he listens to what you have to say and he's very sensitive to your feelings and concerns. I knew he was the one after the seminar and after my consult with him it just reassured me that picking him would be my best choice because I felt to comfortable with him. He's done the most lap band procedures of all the doctors in the midwest and started out as a general surgeon. Knowing that, I felt confident in his practice.

My surgery went very well. I had no problems during surgery and had minimal pain after surgery. And now that I am almost 3 weeks out, I have had no problems so far and I am healing wonderfully. Dr. Malley visited me after surgery and the morning after surgery and his nurse visited me the morning of my discharge. I went home (California) a week after my surgery and the doctor and th enurse called me a few times to see how I was doing.

I can only speak for my own experience but I was very happy with Dr. Malley...I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
