Hello Dr Alvarez patients,

I wanted to find out which hotel you were taken to when you arrived in San Antonio. My mother is going with us and we want to get her a room of her own & we're going a day early so we need to book an extra day for ourselves as well.

Do we go to Holiday Inn Express in Eagles Pass upon arrival?

After discharge, do we go to La Quinta by the San Antonio airport?

Call Susan, she should be able to help you 1-866-697-5338. When are you having your surgery? I'll be there on July 31, for surgery on Aug. 1st. I'm still waiting for my pre-op instructions, so that's the only information I can give you.

I'm excited... it's gonna be a long 5 weeks waiting.

We are getting sleeved on Sept 30...have 3 months to wait. Ugh!! I emailed Susan tonight so I'll see what she says.

Good luck to you. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I have to do 2 weeks liquid diet and my fiance has to do 30 days; I'll end up doing the 30 days with him. At least that will give me a head start on losing.

I'm still waiting for my instructions from Susan, but in the first email she sent she told me I'd be on a liquid diet for 7 days before surgery.

Hi! The amount of time for the liquid diet is based on your bmi. I had to do ten long days. Lol. Good luck!

      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!!
