N that's bc I haven't even try any, I guess now would b d perfect time to start experimenting ....anyways thanks again for ur help.

  10. Hello, well I went today to d informational session w d Bariatric surgeon n just like I suspected my insurance doesnt cover d surgery but I got to meet d dr. Very good information n got to meet w him one on one but honestly didn't give me much of options for d surgery except that I was a candidate n d cost of d surgery is 14000 including d post office yearly visits. This is d second surgeon that I visit n so far d one that has made an excellent impression has been Dr. Drupier. I'm now doing a third search by initializing a first contact w d office of Dr Alvarez n see what he has to offer, but I know I won't be dissapointed for I have heard so many positive comments.
  11. Thanks for d info....will keep u posted how tomorrow's seminar goes mainly informational from another surgeon. Do u know if dr Alvarez offers any type of financing?
  12. Sweetsusie, was d seminar in Houston? I live closer to San Antonio. Idk if also someone had mentioned he practiced in matamoros mx? Sorry for all d questions but I just feel overwhelmed w making d right decision medically n financially as well. Hope u don't mind ????
  13. Would u happen to know where he offers his seminars?
  14. I have been reading great reviews for dr Alvarez. Is his office only in eagle pass? Does he meet w u anywhere else? I'm really considering him. I go tomorrow to seminar w another surgeon. Trying to keep options open in case my insurance doesn't approve.
