I have my date with Dr. Kelly. February 15. This is a valentines date I will never forget. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I booked strait with Kelly. Spoke to him directly. Very nice guy. I'm a pastor and a few friends and family blessed me by paying for my surgery and travel. I'm also a missionary and my last trip to India almost did me in emotionally and physically. Kids followed me down the street laughing at how big I was. I was really convicted about my weight and realized I couldn't keep serving in the mission field weighing 400 pounds. I was always very active but Soon after getting back from India both my knees started giving me major trouble. That's when I decided to have this surgery. I cant wait till next July. I'm going back to India hopefully wearing a few sizes less. Anyone gonna be sleeved on the 15th.

Congrats on taking this step toward a happier and healthier you!! I had surgery with Dr Kelly in May and I am doing great and feeling so wonderful! I'm sure it will be so much easier for you to travel with your mission work when you are smaller and can get around easier. What a beautiful blessing that your friends and family helped you finance your surgery, it's wonderful to know that people love you so much! I look forward to reading about your successful surgery and hearing your updates! Good luck!!

Thanks Kelly:)
