Surgery With Dr. Kelly Since Trish Has Left



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Kelly since Trish is no longer working with him and since Omar is now his assistant? I have read so many great reviews about Trish and just wanted to know how things have changed since Omar has taken over. I am hopefully having surgery with Dr. Kelly in May.

I am also having my surgery in May with Dr Kelly. May 10th to be exact.

I would just say I don't think you should make a decision based on a coordinator as they are not the one doing the actual surgery. So I am going with Dr Kelly as he has so much experience & read so many positive reviews too.

Omar has been wonderful at getting back to me with all my questions too (and I have had many)!

I know a lot of people on here like Trish but Omar has been great.

My surgery & accommodations went PERFECT while I was there.

I am going in June to see Dr Kelly. Omar has been promt, caring and easy to get a hold of. Honestly, the coordinator has nothing to do with the skill of the surgeon (you know that). Omar left trish and Dr Ponce for a reason, and I can say he has been wonderful

I really like Omar! We text or email weekly and my sx isnt until June. But I didn't pick Dr K because of him. I picked Dr K because he calls me, he is able to communicate clearly with me and I am confident in his skill level. My choice had zero to do with a coordinator.

Most of these doctors are great, though, and with a few exceptions, I think all of them are great surgeons!!

I didn't use either trish or omar. I choose dr kelly based on my research on him. As previous posters have said, it really matters not who your coordinator is.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
