Taminski 20 Posted September 4, 2013 My friend and I are looking into going to dr Kelly as well. Can u keep me updated as to how it goes?!?! Sure, from what I have read, heard and asked he sounds like a great surgeon that is very caring and compassionate. Lora his coordinator has been great in answering all of my questions and getting back to me quickly. With Dr. Kelly you don't pay a thing until you get there. I have started my pre-op diet already. He requires 1 week kind of Atkins style/low carb and 1 week full liquid. I did a few days low carb and am doing 2 weeks on full liquid just to make sure my liver is as small as it can get. I will let you know how it goes afterwards. 1 MyThunderAz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or I am getting everything in need in my liquid diet. I know it sound a little " hippy Dippy" but it works. The more you express your "starvation" the more it is...... Good luck to you!

homersmomma 77 Posted September 8, 2013 I returned home Friday night from San Diego. Yesterday was difficult practicing on taking small sips. Why is this such a challenge? Today I am missing my pool. What I wouldn't give to get into the Water. It looks so inviting today. My family is enjoying it, however. Took a small outing to do a bit of walking. I have to honestly say that I am feeling better little by little. Next time I go for an elective surgery, it will, in future, be AFTER the pool is closed down for the season.
