    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.

    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.
