I know what you mean...... I still have my fav little black dress in the back of my closet too! ! Hoping to be able to wear it next year

I didn't finance mine..... been saving up for the surgery.

Just wondering if you have to do the pre op diet if so what are you allowed to have?

Hey... first congrats on your date! Thanks for replying back. Good luck on your upcoming surgery

Hello everyone ... just wondering if anyone is having surgery around this time. Thanks

Hey everyone I'm scheduled for October 5th in Mexico... tried to get it done in the states but insurance wouldn't cover. It really was a blessing in disguise thought.... I've heard nothing but great things about Dr. Alvarez and Susan his coordinator is the bomb! ! She is always there to answer my questions and gets back to me very quickly. Looking forward to my new life!

That's cool! ! Will have to join, thanks for the friend request ... usually get on the site with my phone so I haven't had a chance to look at my home page. It's good to have someone with things in common.... makes this journey a little easier...... we can do this,

WWelittle1.. same to you, I'm sure we'll all do well

Justskinnyme thanks for the offer would love to have you as a buddy....

Hello everyone, anyone having their surgery on October 5th with Dr. Alvarez? Just wondering who my surgery buddy would be <smile>

Congratulations! I'm sure you will do great

I wear a curved bar in my naval so I should be good to go..... I'm having my vgs in mexico with Dr. A October 5th

That's what I thought but wasn't sure.... thanks for the info

Good idea! I usually give my jewelry to my husband to keep for me ......

I know you can't wear jewelry during surgery ... anyone know when you can put belly ring back in?

I've started a low carb high protein diet as well... my surgery is set for October, but I thought I would get a jump start before my pre op diet. I've increased my distance on the treadmill as well... I would like to lose 20-30 lbs before surgery.

Hello I just turned 40 in June... will be sleeved October 5th by Dr. A... can't wait to start my new life. The forties are so gonna be better than my twenties ... 40 is the new 20 <wink>

Hello, I'm from Columbus Ohio.. getting the sleeve in Mexico with Dr. Alvarez October 5th. Good luck to everyone and God Bless

I know the feeling.... I'm so excited, so ready to start a new healthy life

Woo hoo! ! Heard from Susan am cleared for surgery October 5th.

Thank you and good luck to you as well! Keep me posted on your progress

Hello and congrats on your surgery date! Since I posted this. This morning I have talked with Susan and got the ball to rolling so to speak LOL...... already faxed in my health questionnaire to get approved, if all goes well will have surgery on October 5th

Hello and thank you.... I will definitely do that. I looked stuff up on the internet last night and got on endobariatrics.com. just thought I would pick your guys brains lol

Do you know where to fly into? Would I have to rent a car? How long do you stay after surgery?

Thank you for replying back..... I've watched his videos on youtube as well.... I'm really thinking of setting up a consult with Dr. A . Do you know if you need a passport? Do you do the pre op testing there?
