From what I can gather there are enough people going to the hotel and hospital that are patients of other doctors. Lots of people in the same boat doing the same thing and going to the same locations.

I am thinking about going with Dr. Kelly. I called his office direct and the price was 5200 but I am nervous. It seems weird that no one has any complaints against him. Is he that perfect is it worth an extra $5000??? I am worried about making the right choice.

Part of the reason I think you see no complaints is that there seem to be very few on this board who have used him or we are not terribly vocal. He was my surgeon and the price I paid was higher even than that, for my BMI. I have said a million times and I will continue to say that, FOR ME, all was as advertised. His background and qualifications added to the in-person reference I had for him made the decision for me and I am not disappointed! I was also determined price was a third or fourth factor in my research.

 

I think that there is a leap of faith to go with any surgeon, a point where you trust, or don't, all the research facts and opinions you gather before you set the date and pay. If you have not read it yet, I wrote a looooooooong post about my whole trip and experience. Just search for MeasureOfMe's Mexico Adventure.

 

I did hear one complaint recently, I think, that said he did not have good bedside manner... But I am not 100% sure it was he the poster was referencing. Dr. K. was assisting in his colleague's surgery. And this was certainly not my experience.

 

Let me know if I can tell you more of my experience. Peace as you make your choices!

My is April 6 with Dr Kelly. I have done a bit if research on him and the hospitals in TJ. He charges more as he prefers the florence Oasis of Hope hospital which costs more. This hospital is fully equipped!

Dr. Kelly is a member of ASMBS and FACS which are respected American surgical groups. He trained in the US for over a year for transplant surgery. He served in the US military, in the marines I believe.

If you go on GastricSleeve.com and search for Dr Kelly, you find an over abundance of positive comments. He often takes referrals from other surgeons for revisions and high BMI.

Every patient that I have contacted through these sites raves about his ability, his compassion and genuine care he and his wife and staff provide. As you can tell, I'm sold and have no doubts about putting my life in his hands.

      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?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
