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 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! 😞
