Hola from TJ 3 days post op with Dr Kelly pics



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much. I swear I barely recognize the girl in the 2-3 day post op pics. I still have another 100 to go, but this surgery is such a blessing! God bless the gastric sleeve and Dr Kelly, and the other surgeons who make this possible. I tried for 2 1/2 years before deciding on surgery.

Dumb phone! I didn't mean to post the same pic 3 times but here is my 150 lb loss picture. I did have a Tummy Tuck with Dr Mueller in Wheeling WV but no other lifts have been needed. I'd have the sleeve 100 times over. People I have known for years don't even recognize me.

Thank you! The best part about it is I'm relieved from the mental anguish, health issues, etc. It's like being set free from 150 lb chains!

Those photos of the room etc are great. I'm getting sleeved by Dr Kelly on aug 18. My support person (mom) was nervous about her sleeping arrangements in the hospital.

James, he has since switched hospitals but to a much better one. I've seen pictures.

Oh the Tummy Tuck. Dr Mueller is the king of TTs. I'm a nurse (midwife) and I worked with him back in the day so I was in great hands. The results can't be beat.

The drains are a real PIA. I had mine in for over 2 weeks. Very sore, much worse than the sleeve but not as bad as I imagined. I got called out and delivered a baby 1 week post op. Going back to work that early was painful but not too bad. I LOVE the results.

And Dr Mueller is only like 5200 hospital, anesthesia and all. Overnight stay.

Your journey and results are too wonderful for words! Thank you for the insight on the plastics. If I need them I'll be checking with you for details.

      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.
