I am contemplating between going to ramos-kelly or aceves. Dr. Kelly is more reasonable. Just wondering of his surgical skills are that of Dr. Aceves. This would be a revision as I had my lap band out 2 months ago. I want someone who has a lot of revision experience as I know I have a lot of scar tissue.
Any recs???

I loved Dr Kelly--I could not ask to be treated better than I was there! I think both of the 2 you mention are probably comparable; everyone I have seen posting about Dr kelly loves him, ditto for Dr Aceves.I

You need to flat out ask how many revisions they have done. That is a serious operation.

the good the bad the ugly; dr. kelly is a good surgeon- i had no bad experiences; as for ugly nope he's good looking, but more importantly a good person, excellent dr.

Wonderful skilled surgeon - more than happy to share my personal experience if you want to message me! I worked directly with Trish - Dr Kellys assistant who is in Mexico and will be there with you through the entire experience.

I am 7 months out and 10 pounds from my final goal - would not change a single thing! Let me know if you want to talk - I know it is a scary nerve wrecking decision. I still hear from Trish who follows up on my journey periodically. Since surgery I have felt I got great support from Dr Kelly any time I had a question; he or Trish were there for me and still are!

Again - let me know if I can answer any specific questions or if you want to talk to Trish directly. Best wishes on your journey!

Kimmes,
Did you go through christie at successfully slimmer.com? I didnt't know I could speak directly to Trish to organize everything.
I can't email you on my Ipad. For some reason it won't let me!

I have just booked my surgery with Dr. Kelly.  I will be travelling to MX with a couple of ladies in mid September.  We booked through Christi.  Apparently Trish no longer books for Dr. Kelly.  Good luck and maybe we will meet in MX.

Check with Christi on the price since it will be a revision it will be a little bit more then a virgin sleeve.

I spoke with christie and trish. They both quoted me a price of 5500.
It is not any more because my lapband is out already.
The only differences between the two are the hotels you stay with. The one christi has you stay at, ticuana, is the number one hotel in tijuana according to tripadvisor.com. I use that sight for all of my trips and have never been let down!
