You have chosen a phenomenal surgeon! Everything will be great! Omar & Cecy will take great care of you! You're in my thoughts and prayers! Oh, btw, im 2wks post op, and im down 22 pounds!

Today is 2Weeks post op. First week I was tired, but had no pain, and could sleep on my sides with no problem. I never had to take any post op pain meds, nor did I have any nausea, vomiting, etc. my only issue was directly after surgery, when my blood pressure got sky high, but they gotbit under control quickly. I was up and walking two hours after surgery, with no problems! now, at 2wk post op, I am sick of broth, & protien shakes. I have tried a little cottage chrese but o get quite a bit of gas, so im eating that very sparingly, only if I cant get a full feeling in my yummy. As of this morning, I am down over 22 pounds total, and thats with "aunt flo" visiting. I have a hard time getting in fluids, and am about 500 cals daily. I hope all of my other sleevets are doing well!

Casa de mole was across the street, it had flags in orange, green, yellow and red. I guess it could look like a tiki hut, not sure if its the same. How are you doing? It was very nice to meet you as well!

NJ, yes Omar said one of their recent patients is a travel agent, and he was working on just that. I dont know any more though, I guess we'll have to ask Omar!

Cathy, it was so great to finally meet you! I loved that Omar agreed to take us to the hospital to support all of you! Cant wait to hear aboyt your success! Xoxo

We are now home and fully rested from our mini vacation! It truly felt like one! From being treated to the best soup, shopping and pedicures as a gift from the Dr., I couldnt ask for a better experience, or a more highly skilled physician and team. Lucernas broth has nothing on casa de mole's connsumme!

Dr Kelly is ohwnomenal. Cant imagine using a coordinator, thar gouges the Dr fir thousands. Omar is wonderful, dr's wife cecey, is sweet, and it was great to be there to support the ladies who came after us. You wont regret your decision!

No, Dr Kelly isnt associated with Dr Almanza.

Heather, I understand your anxiety concerning your child. I have 3 younger kids, and one that's technically grown (still my baby ) and I didnt want them to worry needlessly, and adding to my anxiety, so they only know that im going on a trip. Plus I dont want them blurting out to my mil about it, so she can blab all over the valley about me, lol. I fly out tomorrow, and my nerves are on high, but I am confident in my surgeon, and I just have to give it to God.

Im flying out Sunday, I'll keep you posted. There are several ladies on here that have gone alone njsharon is a recent lone traveler. She can tell you more, or just keep scrolling through, and you will see lots of great stories. Dr K and his team are top notch, he has done tons of surgeries, and revisions. I am confident you've made the right choice in surgeons

From what I understand from my paperwork from Dr K, is that you can pay with a credit catd but there is a standard 3% fee on top of the rate. I was told they ptefer a cashiers check, but they will certainly work with you to make this possible.

Finances until very recently have been too tight to make those kind of purchases, so I have gotten by with whay I can get locally. Thanks for the info

So, I have been on the pre op diet for 11 days, and have done pretty well. I've lost 13 pounds in those days, and I cheated once by eating a few bites of pizza. I felt so guilty that ive been to the letter since. Now, with the 3day clear liquids, I guess its just broth tea & jello? Im an hour from any gnc stores, so isopure is out of the picture. Does anyone have any tips to get through these last days?

Im with Dr K on Monday, flying in on Sunday! So glad you had a great experience! Thanks for checking in, my nerves are all over the place!

@ Dad, actually I am on Monday. I changed my date several months ago, and informed MinaT when she made this but it never got changed, lol. Thank you for your thoughts and good wishes, please extend them to my aunt and cousin, who will be having surgery with me on Monday!

Yes, the jello is a lifesaver! Ive already done 11 days and the last three is just clear liquids, no shakes! Mie, crystal light, broth, and jello for 3 days sounds crazy, but I'll.do it somehow!

Try drinking the Jello for a difference, I do cuz cold jello doesnt fill me up, but the warm does

Get the small pkgs of the Walmart brand of sugar free jello. Its 20 cals and 4gr protein! Mix it IP according to the directions AND DRINK IT! warm liquids are more satiating than cold drinks or food. It has saved me from cheating many times! Get the wm brand because it has half of the calories as the brand name! Save cals and change, win/win lol

I would speak to a jeweler and ask him how small your rings can be sized down to. I know some settings cant accommodate drastic downsizing without side jewels popping out

How wonderful!! how much have you list total, if I can ask?
