This is one of the first things I plan to try when I get to that stage.

After speaking with Dr. Kelly on the phone, I was immediately comfortable. I was sleeved last thursday and I could not have been happier with my decision. He makes you feel like family. I was sleeved the same day as Cathy and I also wish I was back there visiting with them

I get the Donut Shop decaf. I am afraid it is not bold, though. I have switched to peppermint tea since surgery. I even have k-cups for it.

Look up PDXman, he went to Las Vegas and I think his was around $11k?

This kind of blew my mind! A slice of cheese in the microwave?!?! I can't wait to try this.

More and more I am hearing that intervals are the most effective for weight loss. Maybe someone more knowledgable will chime in.

I was sleeved last Thursday. That very Saturday night, a big group of us went out for a 4 hour meal with the Dr. I had a great time and ate nothing! Just a little broth. I was seated next to the Dr. and he had me smell everything, it was kind of funny. I had no desire to eat, but I have a really strong desire to go back to that restaurant when I can eat!

My second day home and I am feeling the same way! Loving this sleeve!

Have a safe trip home and keep us updated! I am sending healing thoughts your way.

Dr. Kelly charges $5500, this includes everything except airfare. Call or email Omar (his assistant) 619-395-5347 info@wlsclinic.com

I am here in TJ, having been sleeved by Dr. Kelly yesterday. He really is a wonderful, kind and caring man as well as a top notch surgeon. In answer to the site seeing comments. His assistant Omar is as great as he is. He will happily take you to see whatever you want. Even the bull fights and he can't stand them. He is practically a concierge and does so with a smile on his face. He is always available to answer any question you have.

You will love Dr. Kelly! He did mine yesterday! I am also a low BMI (30-31)

Does he operate in the Florence Hospital? If so, there are three of us here having surgery today, the 14th with Dr.. Kelly.

We'll get a pic of all of in our gowns! But not those leg thingies.

Sounds great! Keep on sipping and walking! I'll join you on that bench tomorrow!

I am also here in Tijuana for surgery tomorrow. Everything has been smooth sailing so far.

That's what I am doing right now! I am in the airport on the way to San Diego. I'll tell him at some point when I return.

Or Crystal Light a lot of people use. Or they go to Starbucks and buy a bottle of their sugar free syrups. I started today also, but clear liquid only. It is really hard. I am not exactly hungry, just so tired.

Congrats! So glad things seem good with you!

In regard to your comment about eating the way you would after surgery, you would lose the weight. Really, I think all of us can lose some weight, maybe not all, but we can. The question is maintenance. The sleeve is a tool that will allow you to eat this way and not suffer. I don't see how anyone could eat the way we will after surgery without (or diet pills, but that is another story and not a healthy one.) Read around this site, their are people that are much better at putting things in writing than I am. They can explain why this is NOT the easy way out. There is nothing easy about this. Except, maybe the decision to do it in the first place. Good luck with your journey, read around this forum and whatever else you can. Use the search function on this site, most questions have been asked before, but I find the community here is so giving that if you ask it again, someone will always take the time to answer you.

Duh, just saw the Share this topic links at the top - I emailed it to myself.

This looks amazing! I start 3 day pre op tomorrow, so I won't be ready for this for several weeks. I wonder how I will ever find it again!

I have a similar BMI and I am being sleeved in Mexico on Thursday. I have tried every diet known to man, I work out like a maniac and still cannot get to a comfortable weight. The only time I did was when I ate very little on diet pills. That was not maintainable, I feel that with the sleeve I will be able to get to and maintain a more comfortable weight.

Thank you for posting this. Regarding Mistake #3, I never understood the why behind not drinking with meals. This makes sense.

Check the website of your airline for these restrictions. I am flying USAirways and they have a 3-1-1 liquids policy. 3 - no bottle/tube/container can contain over 3 oz. 1 - 1 quart size ziptoc baggie 1 - 1 baggie per person
