I will let you know how it goes so you know what to expect! I am so lucky that my sister is traveling with me and getting sleeved also!

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr Kelly on March 9th. I am not sleeping well and so nervous about how everything will go. I haven't even had the surgery and I'm stressing about the 10 hour journey back home. I really wish I could afford to fly first class! Also, has anyone asked for the anti-nausea patch that they can put behind your ear before surgery? It really helped when I had my gallbladder out. I'm also really worried that they wont have someone skilled enough to place my IV at Florence Hosp. To say I am a hard stick is an understatment. No wonder I cant sleep!lol

Trish confirmed via email last night that she is no longer working with Dr Kelly. She is to call me today. I already have an email in to Dr Kelly. I'm hoping to go vdirectly thru him and keep mysurgery date.

It's pretty relevant to those of us who have our surgeries scheduled thru Trish with him!!!!!

I have not heard from Trish today and have purchased $400 non refundable airline tickets. I will be calling her tomorrow

I have been working with Trish also and have my surgery scheduled for March 9th. All of this drama is making me so nervous. I was originally scheduled with Dr Garcia, read someone's horror story and changed surgeons and co-ordinators. This is all so stressful!

I have my surgery scheduled for March 9th and I am trying to get prepared. I previously tried the Medifast diet and have several boxes of the shakes left. Would these be appropriate for right after surgery? The shakes are 90 cals, 13g Protein, 15g carb. Thanks:) I am very nervous, excited, and terrified to fail!! DD Dr. Ramos-Kelly 3/9/12

My sister and I just scheduled through Trish with Dr Kelly for March 9th also!! Can't wait to meet you!! DD

I'm getting so excited! I can't wait to get a date set and get this journey started. I could be well on my way to a healthy weight by this summer. I just wish I had paid to have my passport expedited. I would love to schedule for early March and get my airline tickets purchased. DD

My BMI is below 40 also (36) and my sister's is 34. We are planning our surgeries together. We are sending in our paperwork this week. I really hope we can still use Florence Hosp.

After reading a few of the posts about Hospital Mi, I would like to hear any good/bad experiences at Florence Hospital. I plan to be sleeved there in March by Dr Kelly. Thanks DD
