Dr. Kelly. Class Act



Recommended Posts

I was picked up from the airport by Dr. Kelly's wife and Anna in their private vehicle. I was met at the Hotel lucerna by Dr. Kelly and his son. He put my mind to ease about the surgery I'm having in the morning. He is a class act. The hotel is amazing. Will put update tomorrow after surgery.

Hi, I totally agree about Dr Kelly! He really is a class act and totally knows his stuff. I'm so happy you are getting your sleeve! Please update us as soon as you feel up to it. I am confident you will have just as easy of a recovery as I did with Dr Kelly as your surgeon. Take Care!

Had surgery yesterday morning.. First day was a little rough but I have a high BMI so it was expected. Hospital florence is nice and everyone is very professional and it's very clean. I had some pain the first night but no nausea. I feel much much better today. I take my leak test tomorrow and then off to the hotel. I can't say enough of how this has been a great experience. I took a close friend with me and every room has a full size bed in it. We met people from Switzerland, Ireland and Canada. This is a trusted hospital. I can't wait to have the drain removed so I can move around a little better. Dr. Kelly did tell me the only reason for the drain was due to my high BMI of 55. More updates to come.

Glad to hear things are going well. I had a drain too and I don't know if I was considered a high BMI, I thought everyone had it. But the great news is, he is very skilled at removing it. Does it very quickly and it's out before you can even feel much of anything. So glad you have had a great experience! Happy healing!

I still have a little blood in my drain.. Is this normal

When was your surgery?

I would ask the staff at the hospital- they would know if something was alarming.

I think it is normal, but yes, ask the staff or Dr Kelly to be sure. I think I had that too, but it wasn't pure blood, more watery looking diluted blood. And mine wasn't much at all.

      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.
