The water didn't give you the low potassium, the antihypertensives did. You shouldn't warn ppl against drinking water!!! Some may not know the process and misunderstand what your saying.

Didn't your surgeon or surgeons office give you a plan to go by? A list of foods you can eat and when? Before surgery or after. You couldn't have been operated on then sent home with no further instructions than "liquids only".

Everyone stalls at some point....especially after such a big loss. It's the process, just the way it goes. It's your body's way of playing catch up. It goes something like this....lose a bunch....stall....lose a bunch....stall....lose a bunch and so on throughout the entire process. Your lucky to have seen that big loss before hitting a stall. It will start up again. When your not seeing the #'s decrease on the scale check your measurements you will lose inches during this time. Don't freak out just stay on plan, and you will continue to lose. You can do this!!!!!

I know a great doc in Austin. My sister uses him. She had RNY 3 years ago and he is and has done her work. Looks great!!! PM me I you want his info.

What procedure are you looking to have done?

Hope all is going well!!! Thinking about you.

I have UHC also. I was told all deductibles and out of pocket would have to be paid upfront before surgery.

Awesome!!!!

I did try them. Wasted money when it comes right back....you look really great!!! It will all come off. You are doing awesome!!!!

Hope you are out if surgery and doing well!!!

They only take off retained Water wgt. The results don't last. They work great for an event to get into a smaller size then it all comes back a few days later. Pretty much a scam....

Praying for you and an awesome recovery!!! You can do this!!! Update us when you are feeling up to it. You will be on my mind today....

Make sure your BMI is at or above what your insurance requires before you go to a seminar because what vet your wgt is then is your starting wgt.

You have made the right decision and will be very happy with your experience and care you receive with dr. Alvarez. I personally know many patients that have used him. No one I know of or on VST has a bad thing to say about him. Go knowing you are in good hands.

Good luck!!! I know you're gonna do awesome!!! Keep us updated...I will be watching out for your posts. You will be in good hands...you are in my prayers.

Please keep us update through your process. My only option for plastics will be MX so I am very interested in hearing about your experience. Do you mind sharing who your doctor is?

Awesome progress!!! You look so happy....what an inspiration!!!

Darlene....... you look amazingly AWESOME!!!!!!!
