Massive appetite little restriction
superstartover replied to boobyholes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you think maybe that your really just feeling like your always eating it may not be as much as your thinking? Because it takes so long to eat. I have a friend two years out says eat something ever two hours with the drinking rules its like I'm always eating but guess what the calories and amounts are small under 600 usually under 400. Maybe its really not as much as your thinking? If i m wrong I'm sorry but I hope you get it figured out my friend keeps telling me to be patient! -

I used alvarez I am so new to be objective I will tell you they picked up on one of my medical issues I've been dealing with for 12 years and were able to tell me why need less to say I am greatful. I can't say I enjoyed my surgery because I was so ready to come home and it was rough but I did feel the experience was decent and they were responsive to any need I had -

hi...everyone i am offically sleeved by dr alvarez. I am going to give you a little details before i forget them I met rosie the van driver in san antonio, tx for the the ride to the us side eagle pass for the evening the ride was just about 2.5 and I was the only pax, i did see one couple come back in so they must have been staying the night for their flight the next day. (laquinta inn airport san antonio) at any rate rosie had to do something for a few minutes and I waited for 15 minutes and then we were off to the holiday inn express on the us side in eagle pass. I had a good time talking to rosie and she told me all about her city in mexico since i was interested it was a pleasant ride. In eagle pass there is a casino its the only one in texas so once i was checked in i grabbed the shuttle (you have to call but its free) and went over for a couple hours to kill time and was able to meet my sleeve buddy there a bit later, i rode back to the hotel with her and her mom. The next morning at 720, the shuttle (rosie) picked up the three sleevers and two companions for the very short ride to piegra negara, Mx (sp) it was short and were were meeting dr alvarez at his office at 740 ish.Jessica comes out first to get our paperwork and checks and ask who wants to go first. I volunteered and then went over my health history and questions with dr alvarez he asked if I wanted him to call my husband after the surgery and I did. Jessica took me to take some pictures, weight, and to my room to get settled. The hospital is dated but sufficent it reminds me of the VA in temple, tx. About a half hour later I was pacing the room and dr rosales came and intro duced himself as he would ba assisting. I like them both. Then Jessica comes to get me for a chest x ray and turns me over to the lab guy/gal to get blood draw, i hate needles and did not barely feel it. Then that lab guy brings me to my room again and I was visted by the "sleep dr" and I asked for something to relax he comes back about ten mintes later, after my iv was paced (very quicklu ) and give me a relaxer in the iv, and a gurney rolled me off. I do not remember anything else until i woke up in my room I asked for pain meds and was in and out of sleep all after noon. I haven walked to much and did not have a drain or cather (sp) -
