Looking for surgery buddies with Dr Kelly on January 25, 2012? I didn't use any of the coordinators to book as I booked directly through Dr Kelly himself. I've spoken to him several times and feel real confident. I had a previously was banded October 2010 with Dr Ortiz, but decided to go with Dr Kelly as I wanted to be in a real hospital instead of the OCC Clinic. I am excited to get this !#&%* band out of me and get on with my life!

I'm right behind you I'm having surgery on the 30th with Dr. Kelly.

Thanks, i will be out of there by then....but Good Luck to you!

Wow, such drama on some other posts...LOL

I'm here just waiting for the rest of the pre-op tests.... Getting excited

Is it cheaper to book through Dr.Kelly rather than to use a coordinator? I was quoted 5,700 by a coordinator is that more expensive than just booking it through him? Oh and by the way Good luck on your surgery today!!!! =)

Good luck and sending you healing vibes for a speedy and easy recovery!! Please update soon.

I booked thru Dr Kelly (jrkelly45@hotmail.com). $5500. Sleeved 12/28/11. No pain or nausea. I went by myself and had zero problems. HTH. I brought a cashiers check with me and had to remind Dr Kelly to get it!

Hi all, I had surgery yesterday & It went well but I literally feel like I was run over by a bus! I'm not kidding. This was a sleeve revision so I knew it was going to probably be worse than the band... and I was right. I've been trying to walk as much as I can, but still sore. Not really any pain just exhausted and sore. Skinny girl here I come!

Awww you poor thing!! Yeah, I've heard from a lot of folks that there is much more pain with a revision. Don't overdo it, but yeah, walk as much as you can, it will help. It'll get better everyday though!! As soon as you can have protein shakes, try to get in some protein, it'll help with the healing and nutrition. Take care and congrats on being sleeved!

Congrats and hope you feel a little better tomorrow try and get some rest. Keep us posted!
