I got approved for surgery. Waiting on a few particulars before setting an actual date. Went and applied for a passport card yesterday. The person I've talked to through email is named Cindy. However, I've seen the name Lora in many related posts for Dr. Kelly. Not sure what all that means. Anyone that has used his services please any advice would be greatly appreciated. In all likelyhod I'll have it done mid July. Still a little nervouse but excited. Thank you

As I understand it, Lora is Dr. K's personal scheduler/coordinator/patient support employee. Cindy is not a name I know yet. Have you beein working with a coordinator company? I think I've read that there is one coordinator company he works with. My overall experience with Dr. Ramos Kelly, Lora and crew was excellent. I hope you have a great experience!

I am scheduled for July 9th and have been working with Lora. I think if you go directly to Dr Kelly's office you get Lora, if you go through Mexico Bariatric you'll get someone else.

I used dr Kelly August 2012. A lot has changed with workers then, but I have had zero complications with my surgery.

I've have been in contact with Lora. Looks like I will be working with her rather than the company. Thank you all for your help. Probably going to schedule for July 22nd if all goes as planned

Cindy works for Mexico Bariatric Center, a coordinating company for several companies. I have spoken with her, and she seems very nice. Lora is Dr. Kelly's personal surgical coordinator, working only for him. She is who I am working with - I prefer to work directly with the surgeons personal staff. Although she is pleasant, don't expect speedy responses to your inquiries. She has taken several days to respond to me at times. I am happy with my choice, however, and I am scheduled for surgery on Jul 15th. I can't wait! I ordered myself Protein Water drink mixes (Protidiet from Amazon) and some Unjury protein from unjury.com - got their starter pack, and extra packets of chicken Soup and unflavored protein. I am SO excited! I also bought myself a thermos, tea, and broth. :-) I wish I were having surgery tomorrow, instead!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
