Decided not to go the insurance route because their surgery date would interfere with my heavy college curriculum next semester (my last semester yay!).

I've been speaking with Omar and he's done an awesome job so far. I haven't had many questions because most of them have already been answered either on this board or through my own research.

Anyone else going around then?

There are a few there now! And Cathy and I will be there June 14th. Cissie around the 11th... so you'll have lots of feedback! Others will join you.

Omar is awesome - I swear I bug that man on a regular basis and he answers all of my questions with patience. :)

I went to Dr. Kelly... You won't be sorry . He is an excellent surgeon and has done MANY sleeves.

July will be here before you know it!

Hi everyone! I just decided to go to Mexico for my surgery and I am very interested in Dr. Kelly. I haven't heard ANY negative things from him so I'm pretty sure that is who I will choose. Can anyone help me by giving me a number to someone or an email address? I tried one number but it was disconnected? :wacko: Thank you guys and good luck to everyone on their surgeries and weight loss!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
