Hi Kelli! I'm preparing to do a self-pay gastric sleeve with Dr. Shillingford and I am very excited! I will be coming in from Maryland in order to do the surgery. Very excited, your results are simply amazing!!!!

Absolutely beautiful!

Hi Kelli, I read on one of the boards that you go to Disney all the time. We are going to Disney in two weeks and I'll be 6 weeks post op. I am trying to figure out what and where I can eat. We are staying on property at the Wilderness Lodge. Any advice you can give would be most appreciated. I am just switching to the mushy food stage tomorrow so I am thinking scrambled eggs, applesauce, and I'll bring shake mix as a back up. Thanks in advance!! Janice aka TheatreChick93

Kelli:
I just wanted to thank you for your posts. They are insightful and educational. It's good to see what is happening down the road. You look marvelous!

Aww, thanks Kelli. Feeling really good, haven't lost any weight in a month, but I'm snacking more. I'm slowly getting back on track. Hugs, Roberta

Hi Kelli:
How are you? Happy New Year. It's been a busy time for us. First went home to Chicago for Thanksgiving. Came back around the 16th of Dec. Had my cataract surgery on my left eye. Then, had several follow up appts with the eye surgeon. On 12/30 had my right eye done. Same thing - 3 post op visits to the Doc. Everything is really good. Eyes are still healing but I have excellent distance vision. I can see close, but not close enough to read. Waiting for the eyes to calm down, then will probably need reading glasses, time will tell. I'm struggling a bit with the food & evening snacks. Haven't gained any weight, but haven't lost anything either in 4 weeks. How's it going for you? Hope you're doing well. Hugs, Roberta

Hi again,

Can you tell me how you went about researching Dr. Shillingford, please? Thanks!

Hi Kelli,

I'm thinking about having the sleeve surgery with Dr. Shillingford. It looks like you're doing very well with it! Congrats!!! Do you know anyone who has had complications with him?

Thanks,
Sue

Thank you for the info!

Thank you for the info!

Hi!! you look great! how aree u doing?!

You look beautiful! Thanks for your words of kindness!

Hi Kelli:
Love the picture, you look beautiful!!! Love, Roberta

Hi Kelli, I see Dr. Shillingford did your surgery. I'm going to meet him on Wednesday for my pre-op appt. I too live out of the area and I have concerns about having my doctor 3 hours away. My insurance doesn't cover the surgery and I am a self pay. The price caught my eye, however, I've done a lot of research to make sure he is reputable. Any information you can pass along would be great. My surgery is scheduled for 9-16 and I keep worrying that this is the right choice for me.

I have to smile I am also a "Kelli D." and I used to live in Boca too. Small world. How are things going for you this week?
