    Any Oklahoma Sleevers

    Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, breast implants and thigh lift? Mainly a doc that can do a good thigh lift. I lost 80 lbs and had my surgery in Mexico. I live in Tulsa area. Thanks in advance

    Dr. Alavrez patients...

    I went by myself on march 2013. I was just fine. I was glad to not have to jump through all the hoops the doctors here make you go through. The nutrition/ food information they give you is very thorough. Plus you will get a book when you leave. Also, this forum is a great source if info. I have lost 52 lbs and I couldn't be happier. My husband will be there on July 18 th by himself. We have 3 little kids so we each came alone.

    I didn't have much pain at all. I was just dizzy and a little nauseous the first two days. I have had. 3 c-sections and they were worse.

    Any Dr. Guillermo Alvarez patients here?

    You sound just like me. I kept thinking i should just go on another diet. Losing it was always the easy part it was keeping it off that was the hard part. I had tried every diet and lost but always gained it back plus more. I was sleeved march 2, 2013 by Dr. Alvarez and i have lost 44 lbs so far. It has been awesome besides really bad reflux. I would recommend this surgery highly. Everyone was mortified when i told them i was going to Mexico to have 80% of my stomach removed. Not anymore because they see the fat just melting off me . My husband is going on 7-18 to have it done. good luck

    I was there on march 2, 2013. Maybe we passed each other walking the halls. How is it going? I have lost 43 lbs and I couldn't be more excited.

    Alone in Mexico

    I went to dr.alvarez in Mexico. He is right over the Texas border. I went alone on march 2, 2013. I was just fine all by myself. I was more comfortable going there by myself rather than Tijuana. He charges $8700. I have lost 43 lbs so far. My husband is going on July 18th. We have 3 small children so we can't go together. I would check into dr. Alvarez (www.endobariatric.com)

    Cofee

    So I had my first cup of coffee and I am 3 weeks post-op. Big mistake. My stomach was pissed at me. Way to acidic. I had bad reflux all night and my stomach gurgled all night. Had a major diarrhea blowout and was up all night from the caffeine. Won't be drinking coffee any time soon. I did put a scoop of unflavored whey protein in it to get some protein.

    Cofee

    What Is the reason I can't have a cup of cofee until I am three weeks post-op? I'm dying for one.

    Going alone

    When I went there was a lady on the same day as me. She's from Nebraska and we still keep in touch and she is doing well also. I also met 2 other girls from Utah that were sleeved the day before me. There are more than you think.

    Going alone

    I feel great. So much energy. It's been 9 days. Maybe it has do do with my low BMI it is 37. Today is my first day of full liquids. Right now I am having cream of broccoli cheese Soup that I blended. No complications at all. A little pain/soarness. It did hurt a little to swallow but very tolerable. Warm was better. Good luck. No worries

    Going alone

    I went alone to dr. Guillermo Alvarez 1 week ago and it was perfectly fine. No troubles at all. Slept most of the time.

    Traveling alone?

    I am 1 week post-op. I was sleeved by dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico and I went alone. It was awesome and perfectly fine. Not a problem at all.

    4days out of surgery

    I was sleeved march 2nd. I am four days out. Today I've managed 1 packet of unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder in 16oz of Water. One isopure bottle and a can of beef broth and one Popsicle. I think sipping all day is in our future. Oh and a little grap juice. I'm stressed out making sure I get it all in.
