I am making myself a little ( big ) chart to compare Dr Kelly & Dr Aceves as I make my final choice. I can not figure out in my research though what hospital or hotel for that matter Dr Kelly is currently using. Anyone know ? Thanks !

Oh, interesting. I did not know he worked out of multiple hospitals. I thought he was just with Florence these days. Good to know! Will you use the same hotel as everyone else ?

I am sitting here waiting for my surgery by Dr Kelly. In about three hour I will be sleeved. My husband came with me and Omar just took him to see the area (markets, 7eleven coffee places). Just wishing it was over already.

YEP Hotel Lucerna

The hospital is with the Florence Healthcare systems

You will do great - good luck! Don't be shy about asking for pain meds tonight. Ask for the one they shoot in your upper arm not the iv if you are in pain. That's what I needed, but only the one time. Really had minimal pain after that. Never even took my pills after leaving the hospital.

Thanks. Dr Kelly just left. Oakes him if he used heparin and he said yes. Also said he does send you home with pain medicine

Meant I asked him. Sorry

Detor60 Good Luck !! I know you are going to be happy once this part is past! Would love to hear updates once you are feeling up to it!
