DR KELLY & TRISH -AWESOME!



Recommended Posts

I actually have a bit to say about all of this as well, but I don't feel free to share. I had a great experience just like Laura, but I did take issue with some things. I know perfectly well that the surgeons and coordinators(all of them) know about and read this site and quite frankly that makes me keep some things to myself.

I wish everyone who goes to Mexico and safe and worrisome trip because that is what I had.. but that doesn't mean it was perfect.

I'm happy that Laura shared her feelings :)

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

At the end of the journey, it's Dr. Kelly performing the surgery with his team that truly effects the outcome, and though there is never a 100% safe decision with surgery, I'm more concerned with his facility, his skills and surgical track record than anything else. I feel confident it's likely I'll have the perfect surgery I want, and probably not have any major complications. That's in his hands, and in the hands of my body to heal right, and beyond that it's up to me to follow post operative instructions.

With that said, peace of mind is important. I have been in corrrespondense with Sandy before and after my deposit was payed, and she's been helpful all the way thus far. But my main concern is my surgical team.

Ps: I have to say thank you to KellyL, you've been very helpful (more so than anyone working for a dr. could be) because you've personally shared a ton of your personal experience with Dr. Kelly with me! You've calmed my nerves about a lot, as have other contributors on this board.

Thanks, I share my experience and give my support because it is what I looked for in my 7 yrs of research. I am very blessed and grateful that I finally was able to get sleeved and I want to see that happen for anyone who wants/needs it. We all have the same goal in mind, that is to become healthier and happier and I wish everyone the very best in their journey. I'm glad you found anything I shared useful, and good luck on your surgery with Dr Kelly.

I will be so glad when these coordinators and coordinator defenders fade into the woodwork here. This site should be about personal experiences and help for others, not sell jobs.

Hello my name is Laura and I just had surgery with Dr Kelly on Sept. 2. I can only speak for myself, but I had the most wonderful experience.

I mean I actually felt better after surgery than I did before surgery, they removed a lot of scar tissues from a previous surgery.

I had no pain what so ever. Slight discomfort, but that was expected. I was ready to get up and walk 30 mins. after surgery, but they made me wait two hours so the anthesia could wear off.

They pick you up at the airport, take you to the hospital, when it's all over they take you back to the airport. I never once felt like I was in any danger and they all were so nice and helpful.

I now completely understand why it takes a little bit for Trish to get back to you. That woman is busy I saw everyday I was in the hospital and at the hotel. Several times a day, she was taking care of everything we needed we were there over the weekend so even on Saturday and Sunday she came to the hospital and hotel to spend time with us.

If you have any fears, pray about and give it to the Lord and have the surgery. As far as I am concerned there was no issues what so ever and like I said I have absolutely no pain. Although I have been giving the Lord all the credit for that Dr Kelly, Trish and the team were awesome!

Laura :rolleyes:

FYI........for anyone considering Trish. She has a new number and it is 619-202-6011 at the hospital. She also has a toll free number of 866-210-7850. She has an office at the hospital now. She can also be reached at smoothgospel@hotmail.es. Please note that if you call the old cell number, someone else might answer - not Trish. She will hopefully have a new cell number soon.

      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.
