Timeline on same day flight/surgery with Dr Kelly



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm arriving in San Diego Monday at 11:05. I'm opting for same day surgery since I have a 2 year old I've never left before :/

If you've done the same thing what was the time between landing and your surgery? I'll be at Oasis.

While I didn't have surgery the same day, I'd say it all depends on how fast the border crossing and all the pre-op can be done. This is getting checked in, health history forms, blood chemistry (labs), putting in the IV, getting your chest x-ray done, EKG.... I cannot think of anything else I had done before the OR. When I arrived, it was about 1/2 hour from airport to hospital and I was checked in and blood chemistry draws done with in the hour of arrival. Next day I was up by 6am and all the IV and other tests were done within 2 hours of that. Not sure how long exactly they take to process your blood draw... maybe four-five hours is reasonable to plan for? Doctor Kelly/Lora should be able to tell you too.

Best wishes!

I flew in to San Diego...flight was 1/2 hour early and got in at 10:15. Driver was stuck at the border and didn't get there until noon, then we drove around a little looking at the boat and picked another up at 12:45. We went straight to Oasis, took about 30 minutes, I think. We did paperwork, went to our rooms, got lab work and an IV I think within an hour. Then chest X-ray. They took he other gal before me, so I was last I the day and went to surgery around 5:30pm and was done at 6:10. Really glad I did same day even though I was very hungry and thirsty. I had never left my two youngest-1&2. Good luck to you!

Thanks :)

I've spoke to Lora a lot. I was just curious of the actual experiences of others. I'm sure many factors like the border come into play.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
