About Me & The Beginning Of My Journey

May 28, 2011

Last November 2010, I started seriously looking into having the Lap-Band surgery done. I immediately set up a time & date to attend a seminar. After attending a seminar, lead by  Dr. Stephan Malley, I felt like the Lap-Band, out of all other bariatrics surgeries, was the best for me. I got started immediately! Right after the seminar, I went straight to the front desk and set up a time to meet with the surgeon (Dr. Stephan Malley) for a first time consultation. It went really good! He asked me basic questions...How long have I been overweight, how much do I want to lose, etc. etc. He was very nice, good bedside manner, kind of a biker guy, which is surprising for how well known & respected he is in the Midwest. But after reading up on him & his experience, I can honostly say, I trusted him from the beginning. When I told him that I had a prior surgery done on my stomach, due to severe acid reflux, he ordered a swallow study be done. After a few weeks of waiting for the results to see if he wanted to go through with the surgery, they called & I was relieved to find out that he pre-approved my Lap-Band surgery!
