I used alighterme.com for Dr. Kelly and I had no problems. They were great about answering all my questions and Dr. Kelly is awesome. It was worth every penny, and believe me I had to scrimp to get them. I had no pain and no complications. I couldn't believe I even had surgery. If it wasn't for the incisions I wouldn't have known I'd had anything done. I feel great and they were great to work with.

Giving up Diet coke was the hardest for me. I waited until the 3 day pre op of clear liguids. I'm 9 days post op and haven't even craved one yet. I'm sure I will before long but after surgery you are so focused on getting in the water that you don't even think about it. I say enjoy it as long as you can but cut back for sure to avoid the caffeine withdrawal.

I had surgery on a Friday in Mexico and when I got home on Tuesday night I drove home from my dads where I had left my car and was driving every day. As long as you aren't on pain meds you will be fine.

I just got back on Tuesday. My surgery was with Dr. Kelly and it went great. I was shopping and walking all over the day I got out of the hospital. It was the best decision of my life. Good luck to you.

Wow, that is so tough to go through and yet you still want to go forward. You have remarkable strength. Good luck to you.

I just got home yesterday from surgery with Dr. Kelly and I can't say enough good things. He had a really long day before my surgery day and still found time to come to my room twice to talk to me. His son drove me to the other hospital for my leak test and his wife came to the hotel to change my bandages and give me my meds. Then she made several trips in her car to take 8 of us shopping and shopped with us. The whole family was great.

I had my surgery last Friday, the 4th, in Mexico with Dr. Kelly. I woke up feeling sick to my stomach but never threw up. I was alert and had no pain at all. I was up walking around within a couple of hours and felt great. I've had no problems swallowing or drinking at all. I'm still nervous about taking big sips so I just take it slow. The day I left the hospital and went to the hotel, there were several others who had surgery the day before me and wanted to go shopping. Dr. Kelly's wife took turns giving us rides to the shopping area. I had just left the hospital and walked for blocks and blocks shopping and felt great. If it wasn't for the incisions, I wouldn't have known I'd had anything done. I walked about a mile or so the next day to an Applebee's for my dad and daughter to eat. We took a cab back to the hotel but I still felt good. I'm home today and still on liquids. I've had very little to eat and just a couple bites of jello or broth fills me up. I am amazed at how great I feel and I think Dr. Kelly is awesome. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of having this done, especially if you are self pay. The hospital was clean and safe and the staff was very nice. The Hotel Lucerna was 4 star and again the staff was very nice. No buyers remorse for me, I'm loving my decision.

Dr. Kelly has a nutritionist that came to the hotel and went over stuff with us. He gave me his card and said I could call anytime with any questions. They were all very helpful and there was always someone at the hospital that spoke English. It was a great experience.

My surgery with Dr. Kelly is on the 4th. Look forward to meeting you there.

I have to do 3 days of clear liquids. 14 days total pre op.

You should watch a video of the surgery. There are several on youtube. Get one that has voice with it and they will explain what they are doing and why. I watched it like 5 or 6 times.

I will be there on the 3rd getting all my tests done that day and surgery on the 4th with Dr. Kelly. I was wondering the same thing. My daughter is wanting to do some shopping if possible and I don't know what's in the area. I'm sure I will see you either in the hospital or the hotel. Man, it's getting close.
