Surgeon Testimonial

William O'Malley, M.D.
Very skilled surgeon. Managed to do a lap roux-en-y even though I had a six-inch scar from previous gall bladder surgery.

Office staff (Diane) is very helpful and knowledgeable.

You won't get the warm and fuzzies with Dr. O'Malley, but you do get skill.

After care is excellent. He saw me 10 days after surgery, and then once a month for the next three months, each time giving me a different items to add to my eating plan.
The next time I see him it will be six months post-op.

On first visit draws a very detailed picture of what the surgery entails and gives you adequate warning as to the fact that this surgery is not a "cure all" but a tool to be used in weight loss.

Surgical competence is outstanding, but bedside manner is probably neutral.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Had been battling obesity since age 12. Managed to lose weight many times, but gained it all back. Affected my everyday life because I never wanted to meet new people and if I saw people I hadn't seen since one of my thinner days, I'd just pretend I just didn't see them.
