Dr. William O'Malley, Highland Hospital, Rochester, NY



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.

      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. 🤞
