Dr. Kelly. Class Act



Recommended Posts

I was picked up from the airport by Dr. Kelly's wife and Anna in their private vehicle. I was met at the Hotel lucerna by Dr. Kelly and his son. He put my mind to ease about the surgery I'm having in the morning. He is a class act. The hotel is amazing. Will put update tomorrow after surgery.

Hi, I totally agree about Dr Kelly! He really is a class act and totally knows his stuff. I'm so happy you are getting your sleeve! Please update us as soon as you feel up to it. I am confident you will have just as easy of a recovery as I did with Dr Kelly as your surgeon. Take Care!

Had surgery yesterday morning.. First day was a little rough but I have a high BMI so it was expected. Hospital florence is nice and everyone is very professional and it's very clean. I had some pain the first night but no nausea. I feel much much better today. I take my leak test tomorrow and then off to the hotel. I can't say enough of how this has been a great experience. I took a close friend with me and every room has a full size bed in it. We met people from Switzerland, Ireland and Canada. This is a trusted hospital. I can't wait to have the drain removed so I can move around a little better. Dr. Kelly did tell me the only reason for the drain was due to my high BMI of 55. More updates to come.

Glad to hear things are going well. I had a drain too and I don't know if I was considered a high BMI, I thought everyone had it. But the great news is, he is very skilled at removing it. Does it very quickly and it's out before you can even feel much of anything. So glad you have had a great experience! Happy healing!

I still have a little blood in my drain.. Is this normal

When was your surgery?

I would ask the staff at the hospital- they would know if something was alarming.

I think it is normal, but yes, ask the staff or Dr Kelly to be sure. I think I had that too, but it wasn't pure blood, more watery looking diluted blood. And mine wasn't much at all.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
