I got approved for surgery. Waiting on a few particulars before setting an actual date. Went and applied for a passport card yesterday. The person I've talked to through email is named Cindy. However, I've seen the name Lora in many related posts for Dr. Kelly. Not sure what all that means. Anyone that has used his services please any advice would be greatly appreciated. In all likelyhod I'll have it done mid July. Still a little nervouse but excited. Thank you

As I understand it, Lora is Dr. K's personal scheduler/coordinator/patient support employee. Cindy is not a name I know yet. Have you beein working with a coordinator company? I think I've read that there is one coordinator company he works with. My overall experience with Dr. Ramos Kelly, Lora and crew was excellent. I hope you have a great experience!

I am scheduled for July 9th and have been working with Lora. I think if you go directly to Dr Kelly's office you get Lora, if you go through Mexico Bariatric you'll get someone else.

I used dr Kelly August 2012. A lot has changed with workers then, but I have had zero complications with my surgery.

I've have been in contact with Lora. Looks like I will be working with her rather than the company. Thank you all for your help. Probably going to schedule for July 22nd if all goes as planned

Cindy works for Mexico Bariatric Center, a coordinating company for several companies. I have spoken with her, and she seems very nice. Lora is Dr. Kelly's personal surgical coordinator, working only for him. She is who I am working with - I prefer to work directly with the surgeons personal staff. Although she is pleasant, don't expect speedy responses to your inquiries. She has taken several days to respond to me at times. I am happy with my choice, however, and I am scheduled for surgery on Jul 15th. I can't wait! I ordered myself Protein Water drink mixes (Protidiet from Amazon) and some Unjury protein from unjury.com - got their starter pack, and extra packets of chicken Soup and unflavored protein. I am SO excited! I also bought myself a thermos, tea, and broth. :-) I wish I were having surgery tomorrow, instead!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
