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



Recommended Posts

He uses his own co-ordinators in MX now. I personally think that Alighterme leaves him up on their site because he is really well known, then they steer you to one of the Doc's they acctually do coordinate for. They have not worked together for many months.

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...c-surgeons.html Dr Kelly IS a part of this group.

What is going on?

Thanks,

Paula

No, Dr Kelly is no longer with A LIghter Me, he has a coordinator named Omar who books his surgeries now. You can contact them by phone 619-395-5347 or by e-mail at wls-clinic@hotmail.com. Omar or Ana have been great at getting back to me right away with answers to my many questions! LOL

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 do not feel anyone was bashing anyone. There were no personal attacks on Omar. She was just stating what has happened to her directly. This forum is for information to be shared in order to help make sure people are making informed decisions. If there is something going on especially with a money situation I would want to know about it. I am glad your experience has been a good one but not everyone has that same experience. It is good to know if you won't get your deposit back easily simply because some people do change their minds and do not have the time or money to wait. She is trying to help not bash I think she was misunderstood.

I am glad you had a great experience with them and I do pray she gets the same treatment. There could be a communication problem and I hope it is cleared up quickly.

you would be surprised on what they are interested in, they are very interested in the surgical practice as a whole not just the surgeons skills. I never said anything bad about Dr. Kelly's surgical skills, I am not having my surgery with him but have heard great things from people who have. In any case congratulations on your upcoming surgery.

I just got an email from Dr. Kelly's wife, letting me know that my money has been refunded (I have not received it yet but she sent me a confirmation email, so it should be here within a couple of days). I just wanted to let everyone know :-)

Thats right your 3 days after me. I am on May 7th in Tijuana. Cannot wait, the anticipation is killing me. You are definitely welcome for the support. I am using every dime I have for this surgery so I can only imagine needing my deposit back if I changed my doctor. Congrats on everything and good luck.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
