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?

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?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
