My PERFECT Sleeve Surgery May 25th, 2015!



Recommended Posts

CAN YOU SAY HAPPY????? :D

I had my sleeve surgery performed by Dr. Ramos Kelly in Mexico on May 25, 2015 and cannot imagine having a better possible experience and outcome! He is a highly experienced surgeon specializing in bariatrics with a background in trauma care as well. That was important to me in case i had any issues during the procedure. He was just tremendous in all aspects.

I am now 1 week post op as of tomorrow and I NEVER thought i could possibly feel so incredible...so fast...after this procedure!! I have had ZERO issues whatsoever. I have lost 17 lbs since 4 days pre op.

I feel AMAZING and will share further pre and post op details over the next few days and am totally willing to speak on the phone or over email with anyone considering this life changing surgery. I would shout my happiness from the mountaintops if i somehow could!! :P

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Kelly and everyone involved with my care. I get somewhat emotional even talking about it because my gratitude runs so deep ... and i am not sure how one can express it adequately. They started me down the best path i have been on possibly in decades and they also probably extending my life in general. There are simply not enough words...

Hello LuvMeTheNext50!

So happy to hear you are doing great! I plan to go to Dr. Ramos Kelly within the next few months. Wondering if you can update us on your progress since you are about 3 1/2 months post op.

Thanks!

I am considering surgery with Dr. Ramos-Kelly in December. I've only read great things about him. However, I read that there are possibly sites that misrepresent themselves as working for Dr. Kelly. Can you give me any contact info you have, so I can make sure I am talking to the correct people?

You can contact Dr. Ramos Kelly's coordinator. His name is Heath Townson and his number is 619-793-4869.

      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.
