Sleeved Yesterday By Dr Kelly



Recommended Posts

My sister and I are both here at florence Hosp in rooms across the hall from each other. I felt decent yesterday but my poor sister was vomiting all day . I felt so bad for her. Today she is doing well and I am feeling a little weak and shaky. Everyone here is very sweet and helpful. I have to say I feel MUCH better than when I had my gallbladder out last summer. We both have very little incision pain. I think we were in very skilled hands with Dr Kelly. Trish is wonderful also. My sister and I were the last two patients she coordinated for Dr Kelly and I was happy to meet her. If you are on the fence about Dr Kelly I can say with confidence you will be in great hands. Off to walk the halls I go........

So who is coordinating for Dr. Kelly now? I've done a lot of research and am thinking about Dr. Kelly or Dr. Garcia. Having trouble finding information on Dr. Kelly. Any suggestions?

Dr. Kelly is scheduling his own surgeries. His assistant is Ana and her email is wls-clinic@hotmail.com. I have Dr. Kelly's personal email also I just can't get to it right now. I emailed him and he emailed me back in 15 minutes! Ana is wonderful and I am scheduled for the 29th!

I am going to Dr. Garcia on May 7th. I have been extremely happy with the way things have handled and cannot wait. Dr. Garcia is $5000 with a $500 deposit. I am so excited 8 more weeks and I will be an official loser!! YAY!!

They sent me info packets and health questionnaire. I will be staying two nights at the hospital and two nights at the Lucerna hotel. Everything is included in the price. I told Ana that I am coming a day early to sight see in San Diego so I will need to be picked up from the hotel instead of that airport. Ana was nice enough to offer to book my room in San Diego for me but I already booked it. So far I am very satisfied with the service and I'm hard to please lol. Dr. Kelly called me and I asked him my list of questions. So far I am very happy with my choice and can't wait!

Oh as far as payment I wired the $500 deposit to his Wells Fargo account and will pay the balance with a certified check when I get there. They just require a scanned copy before you come to verify everything is correct on the check. You can also pay by cc with a 3% fee added or some financing company they use that also has a fee.

We passed our leak tests and we are now relaxing at the beautiful Lucerna Hotel. The front desk offered to bring us free broth and popsicles,we just have to call. The room also has a mini coffee pot (and bottled water) that you can use to make tea, i also brought bullion cubes in my suitcase. Dr Kelly is supposed to drop off some meds for us later. So far so good. Oh also, Trish gave us matching t-shirts that say "I left my stomach in Tijuana " and has a picture of the procedure on the front,LOL.

      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.
