I am having my Gastric Sleeve done on 03/30 with Dr Guillero Alvarez. I have 2 very good friends that have had the GS done with him 1 just a week ago and the other is a year and a half out and is down 100 lbs. I have been so extremely impressed and I work in the medical field. Everything is so professional, they are so amazingly helpful. My friend that just had it done says that American doctors should learn from them. She was so impressed. He is only 2 hours outside of San Antonio. I am not nervous at all.

I am so happy to hear that you are keeping this quiet. I have told my husband and my close friend (who went through the same surgery a year and a-half ago). I just do not want to hear the negative comments or the "...she is taking the easy way out." I guess after everything is done and they start asking I may tell them or I may just let them think whatever they want.

I think a lot of us felt that way ~
- I have the surgical date!
- Huh? OMG can I go thru with the surgery?
Make sure you are mentally and physically ready. research and follow all the of the doctors orders. hydrate up until the LAST minute - waiting for the leak test was insane for me.

Who are you telling about your WLS? My sister and I are doing this together; we are very close, and VERY private. We are only telling our mom, and my husband. We anticipate there will be lots of speculation, and lots of whispers. However, we have no intention of telling anyone!
