I was researching info on Dr. Kelly and found out he has done over 7,000 bariatric surgerys.....I then looked up the Doctor I was going to use and he has done just over 2,000....hmmm now who would I want to cut 85% of my stomach out?? No brainer there!

That's one of the things that drove me to Mexico vs the local surgeon here. The surgeon in NJ had only done 65!! Vs the thousands aceves had done.

Although I certainly get your point - having done 2,000 surgeries I am pretty sure this Dr. would know what he is doing. Its not like we are talking hes only done 20 or 200......

If there were nobody to compare and my Dr. told me he had done over 2,000 bariatric surgeries I think I would be just fine with that.....just my opinion :P

One of the many reasons I went to Dr Kelly. Great decision!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
