    Hello, I was told that my umbilical hernia could be repaired at the same time as the sleeve surgery. Then I was told (by another source) that the hernia repair would last only about one month. Which is correct? If the latter is true, I will put off the hernia repair until later. Thanks, Paula

    Hello, I have been reading how some surgeons use drains and some do not. What has been your experience with this? For example, I understand that Dr Ponce de leon uses drains, while Dr Kelly does not. What is the reason for these choices? Thx, Paula

    Thanks for your in-depth post, outoftherain. The photos are great. Thanks very much for sharing them. Since you are a nurse, you would know the pros and cons of having a drain. Could you comment on that, please. Thanks, Paula

    Okay, I will join you! How do I reach Dr Kelly? I have had no response to my message to his hotmail account. Advice welcome! Paula Ontario, Canada

    Dr. Kelly

    pmhlb replied to tonyt10's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I, too, was a bit confused by the association with 'alighterme.com'. When I specifically addressed Dr Kelly at that site, I got amiable responses-- but with no info saying that he was no longer affiliated with them. It looks like this is just the politics of business; I don't expect that Dr Kelly's skill has been affected, though I imagine it causes him a bit of stress. Paula Ontario, Canada

    Hello, I attempted to contact Dr Kelly via http://www.mexicoobesitysurgery.com/ and received responses from http://alighterme.com. At http://alighterme.com the surgeons listed do NOT include Dr Kelly. According to the article at http://www.prlog.org/10861118-lighter-me-weight-loss-facilitator-hires-three-new-bariatric-surgeons.html Dr Kelly IS a part of this group. What is going on? Thanks, Paula

    Hello, I am a Canadian woman (age 59), considering Dr Kelly's clinic in Tijuana, Mexico for the sleeve surgery. I have an umbilical hernia that seems to have gotten worse over the years, and would have to have it attended to at the same time. Any comments/advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, pmhlb
