My Mexico Story with DR Kelly

My surgery went better than Excellent ..... My journey to Mexico didn't go as planned. A mechanical issue delayed my first flight which made me miss my connection flight. I got to San Diego 12 hrs later than planned ... What a long day! So surgery was pushed back a day .... So Tuesday jan 13 was my day! I had an amazing time, meet new friends and am healing nicely! I had the dreaded GAS pain that caused vomiting but by 12 hrs post op that too was gone! Was released Thursday and my mom and I spent the evening at a nice hotel with Casino. I flew back home to Canada yesterday ... I feel great!

I am still on clear liquids ... Looking forward to full liquids! 

I was at the Angeles Hospital .... Nicer than any hospital I have ever seen here in Canada.  Staff was super friendly ... There is always a nurse on duty that can speak English .... I felt bad for not being able to talk to them all.  Super clean, top notch hospital!

Because of my travel plans getting screwed up I spent 3 nights in the hospital ... One preop and two post op .... So I didn't get to check out Hotel Lucerna.

Dr. Kelly is AMAZING ... His bed-side manner is beyond Excellent!  He truly takes care of his patients as if we are family!  I was sad to say good-bye!

if anyone has any questions .... Please email me.  [email protected]

i would be more than happy to ease any fears about going to Mexico, the surgery itself or any other questions you may and will have!

I am so happy I chose Dr.Kelly

Great to hear from you Janet! I knew you were in excellent hands! My experience was also amazing. Dr. Kelly is an excellent surgeon and has a fantastic team. Congratulations on a great start to the new you!  Linda

Thank-you!  

Glad to hear everything went great! Did you have a middle man to schedule apt? Im looking at 2 different agencies... weightlossagency.com and a1victory.com did you need to pay a deposit to schedule apt? one of the agencies is asking for copies of my credit card and id both front and back... hope to hear from you!!

Dr. Kelly does have a coordinator ... Heath ... But Dr. Kelly phones and talks to you and answers any questions .... I could also email him and he would reply ASAP ..

I did not have to give credit card info .... I paid by cheques .. One to the hospital ... One to Dr.Kelly.  I had to take a picture of these and email them to the coordinator so he could verify they were made out correctly.  I paid nothing before.

Great to hear all went well, How are you doing 2 weeks Out? I still haven't made my appointment, now the darn exchange is so terrible....just another excuse. I wish I would have been on the ball and come and met you there. And had it over with.

I am doing great!  I can drink fluids like before ... I was worried about dehydration so I am happy fluids go in easily!  I have no pain ... My tummy is itchy though .. Lol 

i am down almost 30 lbs since my pre-op!  Super excited about that!

Yes the exchange rate is terrible but you should just bite the bullet and DO IT ... You won't regret it!  Wish you had done it at the same time ... I had a great time visiting with the other patients!  We all keep in touch too!

30 lbs that's awesome!!!!

OK so I've been looking at a different Dr than you but by what your saying I want Dr Kelly.  Do you have a contact #for him?
