jpetty 1 Posted December 20, 2009 Hey everyone! I am sooo excited. I start my preop liquid diet in two days. I have a surgery date set for December 30th with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico! I have struggled with my weight for the past 14 years. I am only 33 years old and I know if I want to live a long healthy life this is the best decision I could have ever made for myself and my family. Wish me luck!! I am not nervous at all--- I can hardly wait!:blushing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loser 0 Posted December 25, 2009 Hey Ms J.. Let us know how that liquid diet goes.. I am going to see Dr Alvarez Jan 4th, just for a consult. I have heard many good things about him, but want to meet him first and visit his facility. Not a bad drive from Houston and have friends in San Antone, so will make it a mini vacation.. What type of drink does he have you on for two weeks. I have been thinking about that and it sounds like it would be hard to stick to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
