Sorry, Amber! I don't really hear of many people who are having surgery at Nova, other than Dr. Kelly patients. Maybe the coordinator can let your friends know if someone else is scheduled for that week and they can connect beforehand?

Everyone I've talked to that had their surgery at Nova says it is far superior to florence. I think Dr Kelly is the only Bariatric Surgeon there. florence was getting packed with Dr Garcia patients since he does numerous surgeries per day, all day long (I heard this from other patients, Dr Kelly never confirmed why.)

Since Dr Kelly is the only Bariatric surgeon there and only does a few surgeries per day, it might be unlikely to find the other 1 or 2 people scheduled. He doesn't advertise much, the more patients I meet of his I realize how much word of mouth matters.

Thanks so much for the info on Nova hospital. My 18 year old son will be having his surgery there on the 20th of Aug and I hadn't found very much info on Nova.

One of my friends who was sleeved at florence just recently went with a family member to Nova and they said Nova all the way. They said its more like an American hospital. Good luck to your son! I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. That's a big step for someone so young, but I don't know why I waited til 35! Well I guess at 18 the opportunity just wasn't there. Good for him :)

Oh geez, I used to travel 140+ days per year for work and stayed in some of the nicest hotels in the US.

It is a Gorgeous hotel! 4 1/2 stars at least, Westin quality beds, flat screens and in a GREAT area so you can explore on foot. Lovely!

      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?

      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
