Dr. Zavalza! Tijuana Mexico! Surgery Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

I just got to Tijuana Mexico and my surgery is TOMORROW at 4pm!!!! I cant wait!!! ☺

Such a great experience so far! Sorry this is all over the place, just so excited to be here!

I flew into San Diego today at 11am and was picked up by David, he is so nice and sweet, I felt like I was hanging out with a close friend. David drove me to Wal-Mart so I could get some last minute things I didn't/couldn't bring on the plane (chicken broth). It took us about 15 minutes from Walmart in San Diego to get to the recovery house, so close from the boarder!

I just got settled in at their recovery house, It. Is. Gorgeous! I feel very secure, the front has a locked gate that you have to buzz people in. I pretty much have a 2 bedroom apartment to myself because the last patient flew out this morning.

I'm watching the big game in my room! Go Hawks!! I have access to their wi-fi, english cable tv, and even a laptop that I can use to call home or skype. The beds are so comfortable.

Im going to take a nap but wanted to write yall first. I was so excited for today I couldnt sleep lastnight!

David helped me order a chicken salad from a local restaurant, it was so yummy!

I took some photos of the recovery house, I'll attach them below for yall! Ill do another update tomorrow on the hospital and more photos!

Please ask tons questions if you're thinking about going through Dr.Zavalza. I'd be happy to answer your questions! :)

*Photos uploaded weird. Ugh.

People can see that you are in the group though if that matters to you. I want to join but if it's closed my fb friends can still see I'm in the group. Usually the secret groups will give you a person to privately message for an invite since they don't show up on the fb search engine.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
