Dr. Kelly On The 15Th



Recommended Posts

I have my date with Dr. Kelly. February 15. This is a valentines date I will never forget. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I booked strait with Kelly. Spoke to him directly. Very nice guy. I'm a pastor and a few friends and family blessed me by paying for my surgery and travel. I'm also a missionary and my last trip to India almost did me in emotionally and physically. Kids followed me down the street laughing at how big I was. I was really convicted about my weight and realized I couldn't keep serving in the mission field weighing 400 pounds. I was always very active but Soon after getting back from India both my knees started giving me major trouble. That's when I decided to have this surgery. I cant wait till next July. I'm going back to India hopefully wearing a few sizes less. Anyone gonna be sleeved on the 15th.

Congrats on taking this step toward a happier and healthier you!! I had surgery with Dr Kelly in May and I am doing great and feeling so wonderful! I'm sure it will be so much easier for you to travel with your mission work when you are smaller and can get around easier. What a beautiful blessing that your friends and family helped you finance your surgery, it's wonderful to know that people love you so much! I look forward to reading about your successful surgery and hearing your updates! Good luck!!

:)

      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?
