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'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? 🤷‍♀️
