I finally scheduled my appointment. I will be sleeved on July 2 with Dr. Zavalza. Are there any other Dr. Zavalza patients on here? If so how was your experience?

Awesome! I couldn't make up my mind on the Dr. I kept going back and forth. Good luck to you. Please keep me updated.

Will do ! I did the same thing, going back and forth between different doctors before narrowing it down to Dr. Zavalza. For me, it's the team of both Dr. Zavalza and Dr. Luna that helped me make my decision :)

Thank you all for responding. I started my pre-op diet and I'm so happy with my choice. Dr. Zavalza has been great so far, anytime I have a question I just email him and he gets back right back to me. I know I'll be in good hands. ????

Oh wow it looks like we'll be there around the same time. Are you going through bariatricpal? I can't believe I'm only a week away from getting sleeved. Dr. Zavalza has been wonderful, anytime I have a question or concern he immediately gets back to me. I'm confident we'll be in good hands. How's you pre-op diet going?

I'm going through Go Light Bariatrics and staying in the hospital hotel after discharged. It's going pretty well, it was hard at first but I feel like I'm rarely hungry now. Hopefully my body will adjust just as well to the post op diet. How is yours going?

It was really hard at first. It's gotten a bit easier. The hardest part is when I'm cooking for my family or family outings. At least we have just 1 more week to go. Good luck to you. Keep me updated.

Thank you very much. Dr. Zavalza did mention that to me but I'm not on FB. I was thinking of making one just for that. I know I will have a lot of questions after surgery. How do I find that group?

Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and create an account. Did you already have surgery with Dr Z?

I'm trying to find this support group as I'm debating Dr. Zavalza because of the great reviews of his nutrition Dr. But I can't find the group... Can someone provide a link?

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
