Hola from TJ 3 days post op with Dr Kelly pics



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much. I swear I barely recognize the girl in the 2-3 day post op pics. I still have another 100 to go, but this surgery is such a blessing! God bless the gastric sleeve and Dr Kelly, and the other surgeons who make this possible. I tried for 2 1/2 years before deciding on surgery.

Thank you so much! I'm really loving this! I'm hoping to lose at least another 60 by Christmas.

Dumb phone! I didn't mean to post the same pic 3 times but here is my 150 lb loss picture. I did have a Tummy Tuck with Dr Mueller in Wheeling WV but no other lifts have been needed. I'd have the sleeve 100 times over. People I have known for years don't even recognize me.

Thank you! The best part about it is I'm relieved from the mental anguish, health issues, etc. It's like being set free from 150 lb chains!

Those photos of the room etc are great. I'm getting sleeved by Dr Kelly on aug 18. My support person (mom) was nervous about her sleeping arrangements in the hospital.

Looking good! How'd your TT experience go?

James, he has since switched hospitals but to a much better one. I've seen pictures.

Oh the Tummy Tuck. Dr Mueller is the king of TTs. I'm a nurse (midwife) and I worked with him back in the day so I was in great hands. The results can't be beat.

The drains are a real PIA. I had mine in for over 2 weeks. Very sore, much worse than the sleeve but not as bad as I imagined. I got called out and delivered a baby 1 week post op. Going back to work that early was painful but not too bad. I LOVE the results.

And Dr Mueller is only like 5200 hospital, anesthesia and all. Overnight stay.

Your journey and results are too wonderful for words! Thank you for the insight on the plastics. If I need them I'll be checking with you for details.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
