Just wondering who has had Dr. Kelly for VSG surgery?  Kind of wondering what to expect from start to finish...how long does surgery take?  How long in hospital (if no complications) do they send you home with drain tubes?  Cath?  What to expect when you wake in hospital?  How soon do they have you walking?  When do they do the leak test?

 Lots of questions, I had Dr. Kelly for the VSG in April.   Have you gone to the prelimanary information meeting with them?   Surgery was about 2 1/2 hours?   They have you up walking that same night?   Would have gone home on the third day but had pneumonia.   No drains or catheters at all.   Woke up with a PCA pump for pain.   They have never done a leak test.    Pre-op included the hand outs at the info meeting and then there is a pre-op class that is mandatory to attend as well.   Post op they have their surgeon group meetings.   Not much handout info for post op plan though in my mind with out specifically asking for it
