DR Peter Kelly n VSG

Anyone have surgery with DR Kelly? What are you thoughts. He is doing my sleeve. I could have DR Rupp also but Kelly seemed like he knew what he was talking about.

I had a VSG with Dr. Kelly on 12/14/12.  Everything went well.  I am down 50 lbs. since surgery and feeling very good!  Was off work 3 weeks.  Was not too impressed with United Hospital but other than that everything went well.  Love Dr. Kelly!  Let me know if you have any more questions, I would be glad to answer them!

Thanks. How are you doing? I getting excited but I'm scared also. Time is ticking so fast!! How long did you stay on the clear liquids? Do you take biotin, d3 or b12? Wow 50 pounds - that's amazing!!

I am doing great but it was not always like that but not too bad....I had a few weeks where I just felt nausiated but not too bad I called the surgeons office and they said it would go away and it did...clear liquids for about 7 days.  I do not take anything other than my vitamins & calcium.  I go back to him on April 5th for my 3 mo. checkup..I was very scared too!!!!  Everything goes so fast....this is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!  Are you getting VSG?

YES. THE VSG - I FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE WITH THAT CHOICE.

Good luck with everything!

The surgeons are good there, but they focus so much on what happens BEFORE the surgery and leave you hanging afterward. You live the rest of your life with a new readjusted stomache, and the nutritionist I saw did't help much when I had questions. Lindsey seemed to answer my questions half way till I got frustrated and quit asking them. I ended up going over to Dr Sund at the Healtheast clinic downtown and she was AWESOME. If I had to do it again, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO THRU HEALTHEAST RATHER THAN ST. PAUL SURGEONS. their follow up after surgery is great and their support group is awesome too! Also United Hospital was not very good. The nurses assumed that I knew the first time I ate that I knew to thin Malt O Meal and let me order ice cream. I dumped in the hospital due to lack of information.

THanks - Im scheduled for the 14th so I dont think I can change at this late of date. I will however address all these concerns at my meeting at united this friday!! Thanks for the tips
