Welcome

Hi everyone. My name is Desiree. I am planning to have R-N-Y gastric bypass with Dr. O'Malley at Highland Hospital. I created this group in the hopes of becoming a great source of support for locals as well as those who travel many hundreds of miles to have weight loss surgery in Rochester. I look forward to making lots of friends here, and no topic is off limits. The only rule is "Be Nice!"

hi, my name is kerry and I'm also planning on having rny surgery with dr o'malley at highland. I have to have 5 more months of consistent weight loss for the insurance co. to approve my surgery. its really challenging sticking to the post surgery food plan because I live with an active food addict....but I'm doing it. I have tried everything to lose the weight and am dedicated to my health. glad to meet you and I hope I can meet some of you...there is strength in numbers!

Dr. O'Malley seems like a really nice guy and a great  doctor.  I always get confused with the different types of WLS, is R-N-Y the standard Gastric Bypass Surgery?  How many kinds of Gastric Bypass are there?!
