Anybody Else With Dr Kelly On January 25, 2012



Recommended Posts

Looking for surgery buddies with Dr Kelly on January 25, 2012? I didn't use any of the coordinators to book as I booked directly through Dr Kelly himself. I've spoken to him several times and feel real confident. I had a previously was banded October 2010 with Dr Ortiz, but decided to go with Dr Kelly as I wanted to be in a real hospital instead of the OCC Clinic. I am excited to get this !#&%* band out of me and get on with my life!

Is it cheaper to book through Dr.Kelly rather than to use a coordinator? I was quoted 5,700 by a coordinator is that more expensive than just booking it through him? Oh and by the way Good luck on your surgery today!!!! =)

I booked thru Dr Kelly (jrkelly45@hotmail.com). $5500. Sleeved 12/28/11. No pain or nausea. I went by myself and had zero problems. HTH. I brought a cashiers check with me and had to remind Dr Kelly to get it!

Hi all, I had surgery yesterday & It went well but I literally feel like I was run over by a bus! I'm not kidding. This was a sleeve revision so I knew it was going to probably be worse than the band... and I was right. I've been trying to walk as much as I can, but still sore. Not really any pain just exhausted and sore. Skinny girl here I come!

Awww you poor thing!! Yeah, I've heard from a lot of folks that there is much more pain with a revision. Don't overdo it, but yeah, walk as much as you can, it will help. It'll get better everyday though!! As soon as you can have Protein Shakes, try to get in some Protein, it'll help with the healing and nutrition. Take care and congrats on being sleeved!

:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
