I went to Dr Kelly on May 25th and he was great. I have many posts here and some on my blog www.losethisbelly.blogspot.com near the beginning with pictures and everything. The day I got out of the hospital I went to a bullfight, shopping, and out to eat (well juice & broth). Omar is great, he can get Dr Kelly on the phone to personally answer questions quickly. Dr Kelly has a Facebook page and friended me and has commented to me there as well. I feel the surgery was very personable, I had no complications and I truly liked all the staff and my entire experience. If you have any specific questions, I will be happy to answer you. My pre-op diet combined with my post op loss is 80.8 lbs in 19 weeks so I'm very pleased with my surgery with Dr Kelly which was $5500 all inclusive plus airfare.

Thanks everyone! I feel like I have been talking to sooo many people (who have been great). I love that everyone here is really happy with their docs! but hate that it's also what has made my decision harder lol. I think I am leaning towards Dr. Ponce. I can't have it done until Dec., because of school but I am REALLY looking forward to it!

I went to Dr. Kelly and every thing went well. Its been 6 months i started out at 255 and today i weight 171 alos im 5'6 could probebly have lost more but i have been eating to many cheese crackers lol so im going to try to get back off of them. Also i'm tired of my family saying that i don't need to loose anymore. I would like to get down to 160. Omar was just being hired when i was there but i have had to cal him twice and he is quick to get me a answer or let me talk to Dr. Kelly. Follow your heart. when i was looking about 4 yrs ago Dr. kellys name was out there than when i looked last year his name just came to me again. Good Luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
