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.

      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.
