Hi Pam, Well I had my surgery 6 days ago with Dr. Kelly. Once again, my stomach was not what a should've been when he got in there. He had to do some more repairs and modify my sleeve. I had another 3 hours of surgery!!! But I have been feeling great!! We did some shopping with Trish 3 days after and I held up without any complaints. Each day it gets better. Good luck to you!!

You sound a lot like me. I am 5'3 and weigh 194. Although, my BMI is a little higher at 34. I also have 2 kids + 2 step kids, and will be 46 in 2 mos. Anyway, I want to tell you how happy I am with Dr. Ramos Kelly. I went to see him in Feb to get a lapband (from a different Dr.) revision to a sleeve. At that time, I was 173 with a BMI of 30. And they didn't turn me away. Unbeknownst to me, my band was eroded into my stomach. After 4 1/2 hrs of surgery, Dr. Kelly repaired my stomach, laparoscopically. I was originally sad when I woke up to find out that he wasn't able to do the sleeve. He said I need to heal for 4 months first. I feel blessed that he had more concern for my health and safety. I have heard that under those conditions, usually doctors have to do a normal incision to do the repair. I am very impressed that he managed to do it laparoscopically. I am happy to say that I am going back to Dr. Ramos Kelly in 2 days to get me sleeve. YAY!!! He is a compassionate and caring doctor. I trust him completely! I hope this helps.
