I am almost two weeks in, and boy I have went to bed several times, had dreams about food, and woke up in the morning full. LOL Very funny! I guess that is just how much I love food. I not really hungry, I do find my myself having a bit of mental hunger. I have lost 10 pounds the past 12 days. I do workout and I surely have more energy!!!! Since 8/3/2011, I am down 25 pounds. Thank you Dr. Kelly in Tijuana mexico!

So today I am in the hotel in Tijuana, I don't know why I thought the hotel was going to be in San Diego, that wouldn't make sense. Looking forward to spending my day in San Diego tommorrow. I had to get use to crossing the streets over here a lil different then the U.S and the turn-a-bout that is right infront of the hotel has no light, just crosswalk yellow lines on the ground and the driving out here is a nuts. Trish stopped by yesterday and Dr. Kelly stopped by yesterday evening with his adorable son. He answered all my questions and then some. I am not hungry at all, when I swallow Water and gatorade go done but then I feel like a burp bubble. Nothing too crazy. I didn't have the gas pain feared but I have been passing gas. I must stress again how not hungry I am, I wonder if I will feel hunger again, but I think I will be the type that must remind myself to eat cause so far, I can watch my husband eat a deliteful meal and not want it one bit. I was shocked to see on my post surgery diet NO CARBONATED drinks EVER AGAIN but I am not a big soda drinker and can live with that. I will miss beer here and there but I can live with that. The hotel is beautiful, I am so ready to work out but I know that I have to give myself time to heal. Sharing is caring. One more thing, I wend to buy neosporin or some form of bacitracin and it is sooo expensive in Mexico, buy a small one and bring it with you. The bandages are not expensive, peroxide and tape. .

I have to say that I am an individual that did not qualify by U.S. standards for the surgery, but have been struggling with my weight for years and needs a tool to help prevent major health problems that were destined to come my way. First let me say that Dr. Kelly has such a good spirit, don't let anyone fool you. No matter what kind of petty thinks may be going on between individuals that work around him, he is a trustworthy expert who I personally would trust my most loved person to. He is a simple man that takes pride in what he does and cares about people. I would suggest anyone traveling from the U.S. to use Dr. Kelly, who is known as the best in mexico. I set out for him and wasn't going to stop until I got him. Secondly, Trish's heart is in the right place, she is there for the patients, supporting them and holding there hand for support, I saw so many women travel alone for this procedure, I honestly think it is best to bring someone with you. "people may not remember what you said to them, but they will always remember how you made them feel." That is the key to great customer service. Dr. Kelly's got it and he is an expert!

I sooo agree with you guys, Dr. Kelly is great! and I cannot forget about Trish! GREAT! More to come, time for a nap for me.

I had it done last night. I have bad veins and they really had trouble trying to get an IV in yesterday. After I had the surgery I woke up in a bit of pain, I was given lots of medication which helped. I know I have a high tolerance for pain medication but every time I asked for pain meds, I was given more as well as something to help me sleep. When I woke in the morning and felt 85% better. My IV blew and they could not replace it, but that is okay, just got news that I have to stick with ice and they will give anti bio by shots to the buttocks.

Hello Everyone, I must say this site was so helpful in helping me make my decision to get the sleeve. Thank you to all who share their experiences. Tommorrow is the day and I am nervous and excited, anyone else scheduled with Dr. Kelly tomorrow?
