Do Not Pay Dr. Kelly Deposit Until You Are Sure!



Recommended Posts

It's stands for Fellow of the American College of surgeons. Is an organization in the USA that many surgeons here belong to but only a few out of the country do. Dr. Kelly takes great pride on being a member but if they knew his unprofessional practices his membership can be in geopardy. What I said in the other post that bothered Omar was that many surgeon in Mexico could qualify to be in it but they choose not to persue it, that being an FACS member is not a requirement to being an amazing surgeon, like I believe Dr. Ponce is, and obviously Dr. Kelly did too since Dr. Ponce was Dr.Kellys teacher with the sleeve.

I understand well he better start having his staff treat people better then.

Yeah I agree, no matter how good of a surgeon you are you should treat everyone with respect!

Omar is fantastic!

I've always had calls and emails returned ASAP.

They aren't requiring me to make a deposit.

I couldnt be more thrilled to have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Kelly in June.

I agree 100% that if you have a problem you try and get it resolved, but not sure if bashing him on a public forum is correct either?!?!

Good luck with your surgery, I heard Dr Ponce de leon is a great surgeon as well.

I am unsure what you mean by bashing him goofycathy. If I wanted to "bash" him I would post all of the emails I have received from them where they bash doctors, coordinators and other people. They required for me to pay a deposit and I know they have asked the same of other people, I am glad they are not requiring the same from you. My intention was not to "bash" anyone, only to make people aware that this is an issue, I wish I had listened to previous posts about it, but hey live and learn. Good luck with your surgery.

I just want to double check, but I don't think I violated any of the forum rules. Please correct me if I am wrong. I posted about my personal experience with a doctor and his office staff, and that appears to be within the guidelines. Please let me know if this is not the case. Thank you!

Hello,

I attempted to contact Dr Kelly via http://www.mexicoobesitysurgery.com/ and received responses from http://alighterme.com. At http://alighterme.com the surgeons listed do NOT include Dr Kelly. According to the article at http://www.prlog.org/10861118-lighter-me-weight-loss-facilitator-hires-three-new-bariatric-surgeons.html Dr Kelly IS a part of this group.

What is going on?

Thanks,

Paula

He is no longer affiliated with them. There are many post here with his contact information (DDFinn posted the number for his assistant above). Good luck!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
