Hello Kate I'm sack I'm having my surgery done this afternoon my flight got delayed last night so im not arriving in San Diego until 10:10 am they are picking me up at 11:30 I believe looking forward to it. I left my wife at home to take care of the kids and my mother ( who is a surgery nurse) is coming with Ill let you know as soon as I'm out
How are you doing?
I'm looking at late February with Dr. Kelly. Getting passport, reservations and tying up loose ends! So excited!
I'm not even sure of my current weight. I am my heaviest ever right now and probably in the 340-350 range. I'm shooting for 125 pounds. I'm not interested in being "thin". I'm also very tall at 5'11", so at 170 pounds, I was a size 10. I'll be happy just to be close to normal. :)
Good Luck!

I'm with Dr Kelly also! The first week in MArch!
My surgery is in 7 weeks. Should I chance it or have my passport expedited? What were your experiences with Getting your passport??
I'm going with Dr. Kelly. I've spoken to his coordinator and am currently waiting for my call from Dr. Kelly. The deciding factor for me was how he tested the pouch by submersing in saline, a pressure test. Also the sewing up of the staple line. You will find quite a few supporters of Dr. Kelly here. I'm looking at the end of Feb for my surgery and I can't wait!

I have not had my surgery yet. I have tentatively scheduled it for Feb 24. So i don't have first hand knowledge yet. However, as I was doing my research a few names kept popping up over and over. Dr Alvarez, Dr Ramos Kelly, and Dr Ungson. I believe any of these doctors would be a great choice.
I personally went with Dr Alvarez. I went to his website endobariatric.com and liked what I saw. Then I joined his facebook page by the same name. He also has a LOT of question and answer videos as well as surgery videos on youtube. After watching everything i feel very comfortable with my decision. I have contacted his coordinator Susan multiple times with questions and she has been great. She even emailed me back at 9 pm one night.
I would suggest reading reviews about each doctor and then maybe contacting their offices with any questions.

I have a question, how do you get your health tracker to show in your signature line?
