Recommended Posts

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone has had the LB placed by Dr. William O'Malley at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY. I have heard that he is an excellent surgeon (By my PCP), and was just wondering if any of you had Dr. O'Malley.

I have my Informational Seminar on March 26.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Susan

Hi Susan!

I am also looking into this procedure with the same doctor. I haven't gone to the seminar yet, am doing some research first. How did it go?

I have had surgery at Rochester General Hospital with Dr. Anthony DiBenedetto. He is a fantastic surgeon and is very vigilant with follow up. I was lap banded 2/09 and had some difficulties, he was always there to help me through the tough times. I recommend him to anyone in Western NY. He has patients coming from all over to have him do there surgery.

I just had a seminar at rgh with dr. Anthony d. He seemed great and right to the point. I liked him and I think hands down I will go with him, though he is taking July off so it might be awhile before I get in.

      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.
