Do you happen to have his Email? Can you email me with that info (NJsharon@hotmail.com) if you see this. I am trying to contact Dr Kelly!

I was sleeved on May 10th 2012 by Dr Ramos Kelly. At the time the coordinator was Omar, who was fantastic. I wanted to get back in touch with Dr Kelly or his coordinator if anyone has an email address to contact him please! I don't get on here very often, so would be great if you emailed me at NJsharon@hotmail.com. Thank you!

Hi there, jumping in on this discussion as I am looking into plastic surgery options too. I have heard good things about Dr Laura Carmina Cardenas... anyone heard anything good or bad about her? http://www.beauty-enhance.com/en/ I did also send an email to Dr Sauceda for a quote/info too.

I can really recommend Dr Kelly, it was $5500, no deposit needed and very close to San Diego border. I didn't even have any pain after surgery, didn't take one pain killer! Amazing & actually fun experience!

It depends on your Doctor. I went with Dr Kelly & was not required to send a deposit, just took a cashiers check for the full amount when I went down there!

Now I am on an unrestricted diet & cleared to eat anything (within reason of course!). It is easier to cook for the family, as I will eat with them, just eat smaller portions. Last night I cooked pork chops in shake & bake, with instant mashed potatoes & some carrots. I ate half my pork chop, about 2 forkfuls of mashed potato & 2 forkfuls of carrots. Tonight I made spaghetti with marinara sauce. I ate a small amount of it... probably just about a cup of it. Then had some deli meat & a small individual bag of almonds. So most of the time I will eat what the family is eating. But if it is carb heavy I will supplement with some extra Protein. But I actually enjoy cooking more since I was sleeved, don't know why, but I do!

Woohoo! I am excited for you!!! I know I was super excited setting it all up, so can totally understand!

Yeah, I have to add flavors to my water most of the time. I like the Mio flavorings, they even have one that is sweet tea flavor! You will find them next to the powdered drink mixes.

I also was a caffeine junky! I woke up to 2 or 3 cups of coffee, then drank diet coke ALL day! I just quit cold turkey & it wasn't too bad. Now I don't miss it too much... gotten used to drinking my flavored water!

Yes, I did do the swallow/leak test on the 2nd day after surgery & got films of all of that to bring home to my Dr. Also all the blood test results to bring home to my Dr too! So glad you made the decision to go with Dr Kelly. You will love him & his team!

I also had an amazing experience with Dr Kelly & his team. Dr Kelly is a saint & a great surgeon. Omar is such a caring individual, he looked after me, as I was also there alone. If you want to check out my blog, I talk about my experience on there too: http://njsharonjourney.blogspot.com/

Similar to Amy... I can eat one boiled egg or one egg scrambled for Breakfast. I can eat 1-2 cheese sticks as a snack. If I have a burger (without the roll/bun), then I can eat about 3/4 of it normally. Drinking, yes no fluids 30 mins before or after. Sometimes I can have a small sip right after eating, but that is it until later. I drink about 50oz a day. If I am not eating I am drinking! Good luck to you!

I am so sorry but can't find the address now. If you e-mail Omar & ask him for the address & tell him you just wanted to mail a little something to them I am sure he will give you the address. That is what I said to him & he gave me an address in California, no problem.

I didn't tip anything to Omar or to Cecy for driving me around. I wish I had, but totally forgot. So I mailed them a little gift when I got home. I was planning to give them like $40 each?

Good luck to you! You are in great hands with Dr Kelly!
