Ok questions for those who have used Dr Ramos-Kelly

Did you use Mexico Bariatric center or his office with Lora? Please let me know your experiences with either. I have a decision to make and I wanted to make the best one possible. I have been in contact with both. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I went directly with his office. His assistant last year was Omar. I believe he has a new assistant now (Lora?), but everything I've read still indicates his surgical and post-op care are as good as when I had my surgery last May (2012). I had a fantastic experience with him and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I just started talking with Lora, I heard some story about someone who worked with a coordinator and they got their hotel downgraded last minute when they were already there, I'm sure this happens very rarely but I would rather just work directly with them anyway.

I didn't have the option at the start of the year, Dr. K wasn't contracted with a coordinator company at that time. So, I was in the transition time between Omar and Lora, but Lora worked hard in the days just before I left to make sure I was 100% comfortable and ready to go. My experience once I got there was as expected... that is to say, all that I'd read and interviewed people about was just what we experienced. Since I went in February a friend of mine has worked direclty with them and been happy and I'm helping a family member set up their surgery with Dr. K. now and working direct also. So far so good!

I'm at Nova right now. It's clean. It feels like a county hospital in the U.S. rooms are private, but bring a translation app because nurses do not speak English, but I've not really had issues. Receptionist and doctors speak well.

      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.

        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!
