3 Days Post Op

I am so glad it's done!! I can't believe how good I feel. I love not being hungry. Loooovvvvvve it.

 

I had a pretty easy time of it except the night after surgery I had some terrible pain right between my breasts, kind of at the top of my abdomen.

 

I assumed it was gas but it wasn't. I felt better after a morphine shot and med to sleep.

 

And now no pain at all! Yay

 

Dr Kelly's having a special in Oct. $5200.

 

After that new bookings will be 5700.

 

If anyone's interested their coordinator's (Omar Acosta) number is 619-395-5347.

 

I want to write a detailed summary of everything that's happened but I'm too tired tonight.

 

Goodnight Sleevers!

good luck in your new journey, i had same horrible night of the surgery 9/19/12, but now I'm almost 2 weeks post surgery and feeling great, in the mornings i have all the energy but starting at 8pm im exhausted and need to sleep, the only bad thing about sleeping early is that i wake up too early 5am sometimes earlier and can't sleep afterwards :-/

again stay focused and good luck on your new you !!!

Congrats! I am 3 days too!! My surgery went well, aside from my high BP, I'm so elated that I dropped 22lbs just from the pre op diet, my only battle is gas and my BP, but I know both will get better with time! I feel so much better, I know you do too:-D

Congrats on your new life. Remember to get your fluids in. I glad you didn't have any complication with Dr. Kelly. He would have charged you unlike other doctors.

Martha, it's too much to ask for me to e-mail you off-site. I'm sorry. You never know when you're going to get a bug from an unfamiliar online encounter.

Thanx for posting this. I'm having my op next Friday 12th and it's really helpful to know what might happen. Now I won't get anxious if I get the same thing.

Good Luck Joji! Some people come through it with no pain at all. I'll be thinking about you!

Thank you all for all the knowledge you are providing. I get stronger each post. I have contacted Drl Kelly based on your posts and have committed. However, I was wondering your thoughts on the deposit... Omar told me to western union 200 for the deposit to his name then the 5K a cashiers check to Dr. Kelly and scan it or something like that. The original email they sent me said cash, credit card, wire or cashiers. Does anyone know why wire to Omar then cashiers to dr?

I did $5500 one cashier's check. You should text Omar for an explanation. He's really good about getting right back to you.
