    April sleevers in mexico

    COS-- you are I great hands with Dr Kelly. I have had a great experience with Dr Kelly and NOVA hospital. The hospital look older , but the care is exceptional. Better than any care I received in the states . I have had good results and no complications. Dr Kelly is a highly qualified surgeon, based on his background is why I chose him. I am a physician and wanted to make sure I was going to someone who has the surgical background for any and all complications. He and his team are the most caring people I have encountered in health care.
  3. I went with Dr. Ramos-Kelly. I did my research and he had the best qualifications. I am a surgeon myself and didn't care who was most popular but who had the most experience and better surgical background.
  4. I just left from Vegas. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. At the buffets, I chose the meats first, and then ate vegetables. I just had a spoonful of desert. Even at a burger place. In took the meat off and ate that. The only issue I had was not drinking so close to eating, and if course the drinking alcohol. I realized that I am now that I can only drink 1 1/2 glasses of wine .

    Lopez? Kelly? Ortiz?

    I used Dr Ramos Kelly. I would recommend him highly. I am a surgeon in Virginia and when I wanted to speak to the surgeons to get into , d Ramos was the most accessible and answered any and all of my questions. He actually has more experience with the most difficult cases. Which any surgeon will tell you is the best way to choose a surgeon.

    Mexico Hospitals

    I was sleeved at Nova in July. At first the appearance may throw you off. But it is an excellent hospital. I am a surgeon , and I was very impressed by the care I received there. The rooms are ncdcsized and the hospital is ginean. You are attended to by a full team, including a physician 24 hrs. The nursing staff if very attentive. I would recommend Nova highly.

    Less than 48 hrs!

    You may want to also take heating pad, it helps out with the gas pain.
  15. I can say that I was told upfront that there is a possibility of additional charges. I had multiple surgeries and was concerned about an additional fee. I was not charged an additional fee. As a surgeon I know all to well how you may go into surgery planning on things to be straight forward only to find out its a mess inside. You don't ignore a problem or cut corner to save time and charges. As a responsible surgeon you do everything you can, but you have to charge for additional resources used. Rather than not recommend him maybe you should be thankful, he did a thourough and complete job.

  17. Ask your doctor about Skyla IUD , it is for women who haven't had children yet or who need only 3 yr birth control.
  18. Hello Thinner, I am post op day 6. I am on clear liquids. I, too , had that sensation of pain, fluid getting stuck, and cramping when I sipped on fluids. It is normal. Just take small sips, take time between sips, and take deep breathe in and out if it feels like fluid is stuck and won't move.
