1 year out- Dr. Kelly is awesome!



Recommended Posts

Long story short, I have been suffering with vertigo/confusion that I have attributed to possible anemia.

I called Dr. Kelly, and even though it had been a year since surgery (November 7th) he answered my call right away and spoke with me at length about what blood tests I should be getting done and what to look for. He was not defensive about the surgery either, just helpful.

He also gave me his new e-mail address unprompted, and told me to please follow up with him.

I am really glad I chose a surgeon who did such a great job and was so involved, but also a year later- when he has NOTHING to gain from being so helpful to me and responding right away, manages to still impress me.

So glad you are doing what you need to stay healthy & you are armed with information to get you back on the right track. supplements are really important, are you taking them daily?

I am- I discovered I am not deficient at all, but my vertigo symptoms may likely be the result of an anxiety disorder that runs in my family (quite a separate issue).

supplements are important, but Dr. Kelly was fairly insistant that there was no need to inject Vitamins or go any other route than the stomach to absorb nutrients properly.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
