Dr. Kelly-March 8, 2014
Hello again :) I am booked with Dr. Kelly for April 26th. I am super excited and nervous :/ Did you have any problems communicating with Dr. Kelly's office ? I have sent Cecy a couple of questions via e-mail a couple of days ago and I didn't get a response yet. Maybe you can help...Do you know if you stay in the hotel or hospital your first night in Tijuana ? It says on the form that 2 nights hospital and 2 nights hotel are included in the package so I was hoping the 2 days at the hotel were post op so I don't have to fly 11 hrs. home 2 days after surgery. It's a bit nerve wracking...and most other surgeon's packages include 1 pre night hotel and 2 post op and their co-ordinators get back to you immediately. It just makes me feel a bit nervous since I will be traveling on my own. Any info. you can give me would help.
Thanks again , Rhonda :D
Hi again! :) We're only there 3 nights, not 4 so I'm not sure what to tell you. You may have 1 pre-op night we don't because of the length of your flight. We were told to fly in Saturday morning for surgery Saturday afternoon. (It's only a couple hours for me to fly there.) We booked through Lora, but I know she just had surgery herself, so she's out of commission for a couple of weeks. (I read she lost over 140 lbs w/wls and just had a lower body lift.) I'm sure the communication will get better when she returns. Feel free to message me your questions if you want. I have a friend who used him a year and a hal*****hat I can talk to and after next week, I'll be able to answer your questions 1st hand!
So far I'm keeping the weight off. My best advice? Stick to the rules as best you can for your health and weight. Eat protein first followed by veggies and complex carbs. Be careful when you get closer to your goal weight not to start eating off plan because you are getting comfortable. Slowly add new foods back in when you are happy with your weight and if something makes you crave it too much, take it off the list until you are ready to try again. If you start running after the chips, chocolate, candies, donuts, crackers or whatever food at some point in your journey then my best advice would be to fill up on protein like chicken, fish, shrimp, or even tuna. That will keep you full and you won't be able to eat the junk if you are full from the protein. Good luck and welcome to the sleeved life.
