Dr Kelly isn't the cheapest and he isn't the most expensive but I've heard so many great things about him and his staff that I feel comfortable with choosing him as my surgeon

I was sleeved by Dr. Kelly on May 14, 2012 and my cost was $6,000 due to my high BMI (>50). He was fantastic, very professional and also very caring! I felt like I was a part of his family (he gets everyone involved in his practice, his wife, his kids.....it's amazing!). Omar, his assistant is terrific about getting back to you quickly regarding questions, and he's there for you every day you're in Mexico.

I could not have been happier with my choice, and I'm now 8 weeks post-op and down 40 lbs (including 11 lbs pre-op, on 2 week liquid diet).

Web chickadee... Are you going to continue blogging? Just curious. I like to read Dr. Kelly patients progress since I will be going alone soon.

I've fallen hopelessly behind on my blog! I spend so much time here reading and answering posts! A few people have asked though, and I feel guilty that they want to hear more! I'll try to get caught up...

      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.
