Surgery With Dr. Kelly Since Trish Has Left



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Kelly since Trish is no longer working with him and since Omar is now his assistant? I have read so many great reviews about Trish and just wanted to know how things have changed since Omar has taken over. I am hopefully having surgery with Dr. Kelly in May.

I am also having my surgery in May with Dr Kelly. May 10th to be exact.

I would just say I don't think you should make a decision based on a coordinator as they are not the one doing the actual surgery. So I am going with Dr Kelly as he has so much experience & read so many positive reviews too.

Omar has been wonderful at getting back to me with all my questions too (and I have had many)!

I know a lot of people on here like Trish but Omar has been great.

My surgery & accommodations went PERFECT while I was there.

I am going in June to see Dr Kelly. Omar has been promt, caring and easy to get a hold of. Honestly, the coordinator has nothing to do with the skill of the surgeon (you know that). Omar left trish and Dr Ponce for a reason, and I can say he has been wonderful

I really like Omar! We text or email weekly and my sx isnt until June. But I didn't pick Dr K because of him. I picked Dr K because he calls me, he is able to communicate clearly with me and I am confident in his skill level. My choice had zero to do with a coordinator.

Most of these doctors are great, though, and with a few exceptions, I think all of them are great surgeons!!

I didn't use either trish or omar. I choose dr kelly based on my research on him. As previous posters have said, it really matters not who your coordinator is.

      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.
