I'm having surgery in El Paso with Dr. Lara November 26th. Just looking for some locals who may want to meet up every once in awhile.

I'm having surgery in El Paso with Dr Lara on November 19th. I'm in the Farmington area though. I'm really not liking this liquid diet! Lol.

Thanks Tink! I'm so excited and ready to get this jouney underway:) I just got my pre-op orders in my email and I check in the hospital at 5:30am and have surgery at 7:00am. I'm so happy I will get it over with first thing in the morning! LDCountry, let me know how it goes. I have tried to search about him and there really isn't much out there. I think I only met with him for 5 minutes or so, he was running super late and had to rush through all of us that were there. Not the best first impression, but they have earned a "Center of Excellence" rating for Bariatric Surgery, so I guess they must be good. Are you taking the Bariatric Advantage product or using Body Fortress? I asked for samples from BA and they just sent me Vitamins, no Protein products. So, rather than spend $140 on Protein I probably wouldn't like, I spent $22 on protein I probably wouldn't like;) However, the Body Fortress is actually really good! I add a TBS of PB2 and it tasted delicious. I hate supplement stuff, so I am pleasantly surprised. I will have a different review about it in a couple of days I'm sure. Good luck to you and congratulations:)

I'm sure I was in the group of people waiting on Dr Lara that day!! Lol! I know someone that had surgery a few years ago and he was their surgeon. They said that they really liked him and haven't had any issues so maybe that will help! I tried the BA shake mix... Nasty!!! Stick with the body fortress!! I'm gonna have to get some PB2 to add. I add some cinnamon to my vanilla mix and it's not bad! I'll let you know how everything goes!!

For some reason the site won't let me view the last page with the most current comments:( I started my 2 week liquid pre-op today .... so far so good. I should be feeling deprived by tomorrow. I hope this site gets the bugs out soon!

Wow, you are on your way. Good luck with the preop diet. I'm sure you can do just about anything for two weeks. By the way, I have a lot of problems replying on this website. There are some days when the site just won't let me reply to post's. Anyway, I'm happy you are on your way.

Santa fe wasn't an option with my insurance. Trust me, I'd rather have done closer in case of emergency. That said, I had surgery 3 days ago...we drive home yesterday. I feel like poo right now, but getting better each day:)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
