    Ok i have a super private question ladies

    I had a tummy tuck in Oct. My labia was kinda long. My sweet surgeon pulled everything up and back where it needs to be. I am extremely happy with the results.

    Dr. Kelly

    Jupiter and Erin were his favorite nurses. The appearance of the building is very dated but the care is very efficient and prompt. Take your contract with you. Take a kindle with a translator app. The wifi is intermittent. Also, get an international plan for your cell, i ran up quite a bill.

    My son had surgery Aug 20th. He has lost 135lbs and is doing great. Where are you having surgery and do you speak any spanish? He is a great surgeon. Good luck!

    Sleeved. I can't believe I did it!

    Congrats! My son was sleeved there in Aug. Jupiter was our favorite nurse. They took great care of him.
  7. I have heard 150-900. We were not charged anything extra. I also heard that people have negotiated the charges down to as low as half.
  8. When I booked directly with Dr Kelly I was told that we would be at Nova. Also, when we were there all the consents were in Spanish.
  9. I"ve heard from a few people that Dr Mueller is a good surgeon and is reasonably priced. I am interested in a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation. If anyone knows any specifics, I would love to hear them. Thx!
  10. I haven't scheduled the surgery yet. Still trying to work around my work and ski season schedule,lol. Good luck with your weight loss journey!
  11. I love to snow ski and was just wondering when you ladies who have had this combo actually felt like skiing again? The first surgeon I consulted with said that I should be good to go in 4-6 weeks. I do bounce back pretty quickly from things. I was back at work after gastric bypass in 9 days ( I don't have to do any heavy lifting). What do you ladies think? I REALLY want to get this done but I also love to ski... Please give me your opinions. THX!
  12. I am happy to say that thanks to the good Lord above, my son had his surgery on Aug 20th at Nova hospital with Dr Kelly without any complications. We were very impressed with the nurses and doctors. We incurred no extra costs. We had a wonderful time at the Lucerne hotel.
  13. Your story sounds the same as ours. My son was just discharged from Hospital Nova today. We are loving the Lucerne hotel and the pleasant hotel staff. I am an ICU RN and I have to say that the doctors and nurses were absolutely wonderful. They tended to our needs immediately and were extremely competent. I would highly recommend. DR KELLY AND NOVA.
  14. Thank you so much for all of your posts. Since there are few replies with people incurring additional charges, I feel much more comfortable about the situation. Good Luck with your weight loss journey!
  15. Have many of you had this happen to you after surgery? I understand if the surgery is prolonged and requires more anesthesia it will cost more. Just curious if many people had this issue and how they handled the payment situation.
