I don't know anything about Trish, but I did have surgery with Dr. Kelly and he was wonderful! I had talked with another patient of his and she met Sandy as the hospital and Dr. Kelly introduced her as his surgical coordinator. Dr. Kelly confirmed this when I talked to him too. I was given the information to contact A Lighter Me. I did meet Trish while I was there but I thought she was just the person that takes you back and forth from the hospital to the hotel. I booked through A Lighter Me and dealt with Sandy and Linda. They were terrific! Ricardo picked me up at the airport and took me to the hospital and gave me my survival bag. It had my liquids for my time at the hotel and also some other things like, chap stick and those glycerin swabs to use until you can start drinking. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Romero visited me at the hospital and Dr. Romero gave me his phone number to call him in case I needed him for anything. Ricardo also gave me his card and said to call him if I needed to go anywhere. All the staff was wonderful! You will be very happy with Dr. Kelly! I recommend using A Lighter Me. Their website is www.alighterme.com and their phone is 877-765-8446. Tell them Elizabeth P sent ya!

Sandy lives in the US as far as I know, but perhaps she has been to TJ and visited Dr Kelly and the hospital. She is a patient coordinator, who takes your deposit and gives you a date.

Trish is Dr Kellys assistant and a patient coordinator and does a lot more than collect your money. She lives in MX. She works right there at the hospital, transports you from the hospital to the hotel, takes patients shopping if they'd like, and she and Dr Kelly visited at the hotel a lot. Trish was very helpful to my sleevesisters when their travel companions didn't return from getting dinner, and they couldn't be reached on their cell phones. They became concerned after a long period of time passed. Trish spent hrs driving my sleevesisters around looking for them. All turned out well, the companions turned up on their own. Time had just gotten away from them. They decided to shop and see a movie, they just couldn't call to say cuz no signal on their cell phone. But this made me very glad I went with Trish, in case something like this had happened because she's there in MX and was so willing to help people on her own time. She is truly a caring person and is there for the whole process. I don't think many other coordinators would have done this, especially if they don't even live in MX. So to correct the above post, Trish does a lot more than transport you from the hospital to the 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.
