If my insurance would pay for my surgery I would definitely go to Dr. Varnell or Dr. Katsis. Since I'm paying cash I'm going to Mexico. I work for Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa and dr varnell and dr. Katsis (surgical associates inc.) are part owners and do all of their other surgerys where I work. They are awesome drs and super nice guys also. I do MRI/cat scan/xray and I used to work in the OR and when you work in the OR you get a behind the scenes look at how the docs really are and how they treat the surgery staff and I can say these two docs are top notch and treat others well. Some docs not so much and are really as**oles in the or. Anyone choosing bailey bariatric should know they are in good hands. I hope this helps some people. My name is Joanne and I live in broken arrow and I am getting sleeved on march 2nd by dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Excited but nervous.

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.

Dr Alvarez is over 1900 miles from Tijuana, and he's 1 mile from the border , so i hope theres not going to be any trouble, And to better my chances ill be buying my drugs in the good ole USA.... BUY USA

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.

Dang, it seems like I'm the only one on for June 8th. Guess I'll have sweet Dr. Alvarez all to my self.

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.

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.

Hi all, I decided to go through this post and try to make a list of people getting it done and the day they are doing it, in case you'd like to make a buddy. I did my best to include everyone. I didn't include anyone who had tentative days, or days they were 'hoping for'. Sorry if I left anyone out. Feel free to take it and edit it if I made any mistakes.

Good luck Joanne. I have heard great things about Dr Alvarez on here. Dr Katsis did my surgery on 1/8. He was great

Thanks joanne! ! Glad to know I made the right choice. Congrats and good luck on your surgery. Had my insurance not paid I would be going to Mexico too. Please let us know how you are doing. I love talking to all the local people.

March 2 2013 surgery date. Looking for mentor/buddy in Oklahoma. Going to dr. Alvarez in Mexico.

I'm so glad to have found this forum, everyone seems so supportive and helpful, we are all on a journey here, and whatever we can do to help each other along the way is great!

Hmmm......okay. Well, I'll keep quiet and see if my surgeon mentions that. I got my priorities!

Hi I was just sleeved by Dr Alvarez on Friday the 15th...he is an excellent doctor and he has an amazing staff
I went into surgery around 1030 am and it took on 45 minutes I woke up with no pain at all and was walking immediately.
I was discharged this morning staying in eagle pass for the night and will be driving to San Antonio in the morning to fly back into houston tomorrow around 1240pm
I have no pain and I not hungry just don't have too much energy since I have not ate anything solid for a while. I am on my 7 day clear liquid diet just drank/ate a bowl of the Unjury chicken broth and it tasted solo good I feel much better now that I ate that

I'm trying to figure out what to pack for my surgery next week. I'll have the two nights at the hotel, and then a full day of travel back to my home. What will I be able to drink...especially for Protein? I'm packing some Injury chicken Soup, and wondering if Protein Powder would be a waste of space in my suitcase. Plus, if I have to bring all those packets of powder back to the U.S. because I didn't use them, the Border Agents might pull me aside!

.

I brought bullion cubes and asked the flight attendant for a cup of hot Water. Easy peasy!

Has anyone tried Unjury brand chicken flavored Soup?

I'm only telling people I work closely with because I'm taking 3 weeks off and they will wonder where I've been. I couldn't lie and say it was something else.
