Anybody Else With Dr Kelly On January 25, 2012



Recommended Posts

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!

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!!!! =)

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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
