My friend who hasn't worked in months thankfully just got a job. However that means she can't go to TJ with me next week for my surgery! Am I insane for doing this 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.

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

That is great! I am so excited, I can't wait. I start my pre op Sat. Not looking forward to that part but I will be OK. Glad to speak to someone that went to Alvarez, not that many people on here go to him. Have a great day.

Doreyrae, I think you will be fine. I know it would b nice if there was more feedback on him. What in have seen is good. If it wasn't for the extra money I might if went with him. I wish you well on your journey and be sure to post.

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.

That's good to know. Thank you

I went alone to Alvarez, and I did just fine. One piece of advice for those traveling alone though, Pack Lightly!!! I thought I had, but I still had trouble lugging my back pack through the airport. Lol.

I also met another lady having surgery the same day as I did, and that was great!
