BararticPal and Dr. Zavalza - Best of the best!



Recommended Posts

Wow where do I start...

I was sleeved on march 16th 2015. BariatricPal did it all from A to Z. Picking up, dropping off from the hospital, airports and the recovery house. You're never alone and you have someone taking care of you 24/7.

Walking after your surgery is sooooo important. I have my own personal liaison, Juan! Juan takes you walking everywhere. All over the beautiful city site seeing!! Woohoo!!.. I absolutely loved that. We got to go to the beach and look at some of their amazing shops.

I found Dr. Zavalza through BariatricsPal Deals. Dr. Z was extremely thorough. He Skyped with me several times to answer any questions or concerns and made my transition to the hospital very easy. The morning of my surgery, I met my doctors and their staff.

Dr Luna is my own personal dietitian. He handles all my follow-up post op consultation. The surgery went great. Virtually painless other than feeling a little groggy and some discomfort from my drain tube. Oh of course gas from the surgery ;-( , discomfort level is different for everyone. I must say it was very minimal discomfort. I made sure to walk walk walk I know that helped me a lot!

I was released two days later after I passed all my tests for the all clear. The doctors had several follow up visits. Both of them came out to see me and make sure I was doing well to send me off with all the information I needed. After hugs and pictures off I went to rediscover my new like and new found freedom.

It was truly a blessing to find this group. I went there all by myself but never felt alone. Thank you so much team BariatricPal for all your hard work!!..

UPDATE I'm coming BACK with my cousin!!! Nothing but the best for my family!! ONLY bararticPal!! Thank you for making one of the biggest decision of my life as smooth as possible...

      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! 😞
