Low BMI and still having VSG
barbarachic replied to christina420's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
i had my surgery march 2011; my BMI was 30 but i also have high blood pressue; high cholesterol, has gestational diabetes and have a horrible family history of cardiac disease. have 6 brothers all under age 63 ys ; one has had stents, open heart bypas; one had carotid endarterectomy; another has 3 stents and my mother had her first heart attack age 52 and died before she turned 65. so dr. kelly in mexico did my sleeve because of my family history and the 50 lbs i need to lose which i have been carrying around since 1993. i have lost 36 lbs and now i take 1/2 dose of my high blood pressure pill; i feel great. dr. kelly charge me 5300.00 it covered all hospital costs plus two nights in hospital, two nights in hotel (i just paid for airfare and the package cost 5300) and my niece came along for support. dr. kelly is the best. -

hi i had surgery march 4th with dr. kelly. shelia and her dtr were there and shelia had surgery a few days after me. i felt safe whole time i was there. dr. kelly is a very good dr and the price is 1/2 of what you self pay in the states. hospital is a little older but had everything you need. nurses were fine. i am a nurse also. i was mostly concerned with postop pain, i had a bad experience after my hysterectomy in the states. they give you toradol IV around the clock and i had no problem with nausea. dr. kelly is a good choice.

dr. kelly did my surgery march 4th. it is done at a hospital not a clinic. dr. kelly made rounds and checked on me after surgery. he will sit and explain the surgery and answer all questions. he cost more than the other dr but it was still a wonderful price included two nights in hospital two nights at nice hotel.

if you are not a smoker and you are walking up &about, you don't have to keep using spirometer, it is to help prevent pneumonia; it makes you do deep breathing . unless you have a cough or a smoker you are probably fine to stop.

whos your doc? sorry your spouse is acting that way..does he have weight issues. people don't always know how hard it is to lose the weight. best wishes.
