Traveling To Mexico Today. Surgery With Dr. Kelly On 28Jun12



Recommended Posts

So glad to hear you both are doing well. I'm so excited, but can't believe it is really true and just a few days away. Btw, passport card came today, so I'm all set

We had the swallow test today, and everything went well. We moved into the hotel today. It is beautiful. Things are going well for Jennifer and me. There is a third lady with us who was a band to sleeve revision. She is fine too. Dr. Kelly had one sleeve surgery today, and we had a chance to visit and talk with her family and provide them support as well.

The first day was really hard for me, but everything else went really well.

Omar is a doll isn't he? He was so sweet to me, looking after me very well. I love Dr Kelly & his team!

Glad you are doing well Sunny & recovering well.

Omar came by today and brought a lady who gave me a pedicure and a manicure on my SO. They have taken very good care of us. My SO keeps telling Dr. Kelly that Omar deserves a raise.

Today, we were talking to a lady in the lobby who is in Tijuana for cancer treatment. Omar offered to drive her to the Oasis Hospital just above where Dr. Kelly does surgery when he was bringing other people to the hospital. Two nights ago, when everyone went to dinner, anything they didn't finish, he had wrapped to give to the homeless. He is a very, very kind man.

I'm flying out Friday and having my surgery on Saturday. I'll be there until the 4th also!!

I met the lady and her family that had surgery on Saturday. I probably won't get to see you again until you get to the hotel, but we have been spending time with your aunt and grandma. You have such a lovely family.

We are local in that we live in SoCal and plan to stay in touch and visit Dr Kelly and Omar in October. :). Just think the world of those people.

Joe and I plan to go back and visit too. I set a weight goal that I want to reach before I go back to visit. I want to have my picture taken with Dr. Kelly again when I've slimmed down!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
