I hope my husband doesn't read this thread, I told him 6 weeks and he believed me. He doesn't need to know the truth Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I'm all the way in Yakima. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

My mom made me measure and I'm glad she did also the yoga pants I wore the morning of surgery are falling off so that's a good thing. Luckily when we finally had the $$ for the sleeve I only had to wait 13 days, so my flight was cheaper. It was the longest 13 days of my life. Now it's just getting back into the routine of life (I have 5 kids) and getting my Water and Protein in which is a full time job alone. I'll be watching to see how your doing! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

They gave it to me, I hadn't requested it. My 9 year old was fascinated seeing it. I used Dr.Cabrera and Venezuala. They actually showed me the video of them removing it. I had a great experience!!

Good luck to you both, please come back and share your experience with Dr Almaza, first hand experience is what people are wanting and needing to hear Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

We're close, I'm in Yakima.

So true, maybe my taste will change back but for now these will have to work! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I have 5 kids, ages 10,9,4,2&1, the help from my mom and dad while my husband was working was wonderful. I was exhausted and had to focus on getting Water in, my kids needed more attention then I could give for the first week home. I didn't need help taking care of me, just my brood Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

They will definitely make it so I can get my Protein in, I just have to tell the cheapskate in me it's ok that they're more expensive then the powder. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Just had a premeir Protein shake and it was much better then my powder shakes, do they ever go on sale at costco? Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I had a guy in high school ask me if I was a virgin, I told him not yet... It shut him up! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I did not use almanza, I hear he is a great surgeon but does many in one day and I've heard the hospital is not the best. Please search him and Jerusalem hospital on here to get first hand experience. My dr's were cheaper then him and the hospital is top notch and so was the hotel. I guess my point is, there is other options priced as good or better then almanza. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

And I loved them before! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I'll have to go get some tomorrow, I've always gone with the powder because I'm a cheapskate but after surgery I can barely stand them. I'm struggling to get my Protein in so hopefully finding a shake I like will help. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Do the pre made taste better then the powder? Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I loved the Protein powder from costco before surgery, but have a hard time getting it down now, do the premade taste better then the powder? The liquid diet is a struggle but the end result is worth it! Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I agree about taste changing after surgery, I always bought the costco one and loved it, now I tolerate them because I have so much. Whatever you get now, get enough to just get by till surgery, just incase. P.s isopure are nasty to me, I only tried one and anytime I think a out trying another kind in my fridge I get nauseous. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

I got there about 11:30 and got a room. They were just probably booked. I'd let your coordinator know and request early check in. We had to get a inside room with no window but it didnt feel like a tomb like I thought it would. It was very comfortable. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

If you have a smart phone you can get viber, text and talk for free with wifi if the other person also has viber. Another person when I was there was able to use her AT&T US service while at mi dr hospital. The hotel was to far over the border. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Mi Doctor has safes in the rooms, I was able to fit my kindle fire hd, wallet,phone and other personal things in it, with room to spare.

My experience at MI. Hospital was the best I could have asked for, I'm do glad I chose them. I had a friend that was sleeved at Jerusalem and she begged me not to go there ( she didn't have to beg hard) Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Please research Jerusalem hospital, it was the reason I changed dr's. Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX
