Which doctor to use?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm finally at the point where I can schedule a surgery dare (yay!!). Now I just need to decide on a doctor. I've heard good things about both Dr. Almanza & Dr. Kelly but I'm so torn. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I chose Dr Kelly and had a wonderful experience - read my blog and former posts and you can see my story. He is a wonderful surgeon and kind man. I felt safe and informed every step of the way! Love Love love him!

Please message me if you want details. I worked directly with his personal assistant Trish and did not book through a US coordinator. Got wonderful service, assistance every step of the way! Best gift I ever gave myself! I have never read a negative thing about Dr Kelly nor adverse outcomes that I am aware of.tongue.gif

Best wishes on your journey!

dr. kelly did my surgery march 4th. it is done at a hospital not a clinic. dr. kelly made rounds and checked on me after surgery. he will sit and explain the surgery and answer all questions. he cost more than the other dr but it was still a wonderful price included two nights in hospital two nights at nice hotel.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
