Hola from TJ 3 days post op with Dr Kelly pics

3 days post op with Dr Kelly and super happy! I was always wanting pictures so here are some. I'll get some of incisions etc later. I want to keep updated with my changing shape too.

I love Dr Kelly and Florence/Oasis! God has blessed me!

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.

Holy moly - what an incredible transformation!! You look AMAZING. I am just 3 months out and have a ways to go but this is inspirational

This is insane. Beautiful before and beautiful in a different way after. You're accomplishment is just stunning.

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?

  • Author

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.

@gibson_girl could you please give me the information so I can speak with Cecy. I'm heading to Tijuana next month for a sleeve with Dr. E. Ortiz and was suggested to go to Cosmed for laser and injectables, but I've heard a few unflattering comments abut them causing red flags. Would she offer advice even if I haven't used her husband as my surgeon?
