I am drawing close to my date with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana. I am so excited about my surgery which is on 3/4. I've heard nothing but good about Dr. Kelly and just would love to hear from others who have had surgery with him. My best gal pal had surgery last July and she is doing just great. Anybody else want to share their experience.

I had my surgery with dr. Kelly on 9/9/2013. And it went GREAT. Not one single complication or side effect. The whole experience was wonderful. He is a very skilled surgeon with tons of experience with this surgery. I have nothing but good things to say about him. You will be in great hands! Pm me anytime if you have questions :)

In excited and I've heard nothing but great things about him. I'm glad it all went well. I'm with my friend that had surgery back in July and I swear she looks like a totally different person. Very inspiring.

Jupiter and Erin were his favorite nurses. The appearance of the building is very dated but the care is very efficient and prompt. Take your contract with you. Take a kindle with a translator app. The wifi is intermittent. Also, get an international plan for your cell, i ran up quite a bill.

Waterlady, I'm not sure that I have a contract. When would I have had that? Thanks for the translation recommend.

      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.
