Hey guys, Im also having surgery on the 28th, with Dr. Kelly, and like many people here, I am very nervous, but today was a very difficult day for me. first let's start with, my family are against me getting this surgery, let alone in Mexico, My brother told me 2 days ago that I was going to die while under. My brother loves me very much and is very scared, he thinks my 4kids will be motherless, and he thinks im being selfish about this. He keeps trying to convince me not to go and telling me that i can do it on my own. Today,while at the pool with my friends and family, I went to grab an Empanada and he ran to ****** it off my hand, And told me, I needed to work on my addiction with food mentally, before i go into any surgery. Now I can understand him,he loves me and wants the best for me. I will be going alone to this surgery as nobody has time available to take from there job. But, believe me im fine with that. I went in and out of a daze today while at the family pool outing, I kept thinking that in a few months, I will be a happier person. I am miserable, I have pain all over, back, hips, ankles, feet. Im so ready for this change. Thanks for listening.

Tia, you are welcome! I know when I was getting ready to go I was trying to find everything I could on Dr Kelly. So was hoping it would help others going that route!

cabral76 - You are doing this for you & it is a great thing. I was scared myself that I would not wake up from surgery! But I got through fine. I also went alone to Dr Kelly & did fine & so will you! You are not being selfish, you are doing this for you, but also for your kids too, so they can have a healthy fit mom to be able to keep up with them! Good luck to you & you will be fine!

NJsharon- do you have any other email addresses? I just sent an email and it said it couldn't be delivered.

cabral76- I am very sorry about your situation. But I can reassure you that you will be fine. I am Mexican American and I have had surgery there and some of the hospitals there are way better than the ones here! And also, my mother was morbidly obese at one point in her life and had gastric bypass. If it weren't for that surgery, she would have passed a long time ago. She suffers from arthritis, degenerative disc disease from her back, and diabetes. The diabetes is under control, and she is now able to even run after having it! ( Before, she couldn't stand long enough to wash the dishes) Every pound you lose is kind of like more time you add onto your life! And you are not selfish....you are thinking of your children! Just remember that even though you do not have support there, we all are going through the same thing so you have us! Buena Suerte or Good luck on your surgery!

Thank you Tia, and NJsharon, I have faith, i know this is going to be the best thing for me, but i wish my family would understand. If they would only read about the procedure, read about the co-morbidities that i have and weigh it out. see, the problem is that they have seen me work it out before and just get it done, but they dont understand that is gone too far, Im bigger than i was before, and Im also sick of the yo-yo dieting, I have always loved to work out and cant wait to be able to really work out, the way i used to, I have plans that entail lots of happiness for me, and i wont let anyone take that from me. well, I cant wait till they see me 5-7 weeks post-op...Im so sick of people looking at me with sorrow. Buenas Suerte Tia espero que todo te salga bien, te contara todo desde que lluegue. chao!

Thinmymind - NO! These coordinators get your info and then punt you to another doctor. Dr. Kelly does not work with these other places. You can contact him directly at:

wls-clinic@hotmail.com

Or call Omar at 619-395-5347 (or text him)

I swear some of these coordinators are predators!! It really frustrates me. Dr. Kelly is working hard to get his Facebook page going, their website moving, etc etc. But he isn't working with the coordinators/companies any more and is doing quite well.

Write or call them and they will get back to you very quickly!!!!! Let me know what happens!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
