Surgeon Testimonial

William O'Malley, M.D.
My first impression of Dr.O'Malley was that he knew his stuff.The office staff was attentive and helpful. They tell you the importance of following the instructions that they give you. All the risks are explained to you and you are asked to sign a release. I would rate Dr. O'Malley a ten he is an excellent Dr. with a lot of experience. The surgical competence is excellent.

    It was sooo good talking with you yesterday and I was very glad to hear you were home and doing well. Keep sipping water, walk as much as possible and get rest. Your body is healing itself. Give it time and it will do its thing. I'll be talking to you soon...take care, hugs and kisses!!

After Surgery
posted on 7/17/09 4:04 pm
Hi friends, I am officially out of surgery and on the loser's bench.  My last week had some ups and downs. First surgery went well without any complications, I spent the two days in the hospital, was up walking shortly after. I had alot of gas I think I confused the gas with pain at times but they gave me pain medication and that took care of it. I had staples, I had the surgery laproscopically they just used staples in place of stitches I guess. The day after they gave me 60cc of water and asked me to try and get 30cc down every half hour which I didn't.  I came home on Sunday and the test was on I couldn't get much of anything down without geting full, then the protein was out of the question I would gag at the thought of it, it only took one sniff. 3 days after surgery I thought I was starving and I knew I couldn't eat anything but, my brain was telling me different so I began to sip crystal light and that took away the hunger pains and settled the headache. The next day the hunger was gone.  So I basically lived off of chicken broth from chicken noodle soup and the boost high protein only getting 4oz a day. I had my first appt. today they said I am healing very well and they removed the staples thank God! I am down 20 lbs!!! yes, yes I am soo excited I started out at 270lbs and is now 250 lbs. It feels so good to seeing that scale going in another direction.

Thank you all for you prayers and support  I will keep you posted

continual blessings Michele
