Mom_24 72 Posted July 5, 2012 Humble here, north of Houston. Going to Dr. Alvarez tomorrow for my surgery on Saturday the 7th!! I'm in Katy and I go to Dr. Alvarez on 8/13. I will be thinking of you and praying for you tomorrow! Stacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormWarning 194 Posted July 5, 2012 Texas here as well. I never even checked out the Texas forums. I keep getting side-tracked with all the other informative posts on here. I am scheduled for surgery August 6, 2012 with Dr. Alvarez. My feelings of "This is Real, This is really happening" started when I was purchasing the required Vitamins, and items for my pre-op diet. The grocery shopping made me shaky, butterflies in my stomach. The pass-port that came in the mail the same day, sent me into a nauseated world spinning, no turning back; I can do this mode. Nice to meet you all. Good luck to everyone and all who have upcoming surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

earth2terra 24 Posted July 8, 2012 Pixiglitter I'll have my visit official visit( Already did intial consult) with dr balette Wednesday any words of wisdom? How are you feeling? How did it take you to get approved etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ijam75 102 Posted July 8, 2012 Pixiglitter I'll have my visit official visit( Already did intial consult) with dr balette Wednesday any words of wisdom? How are you feeling? How did it take you to get approved etc? At this stage, I would say get a fresh note pad that you can keep info strictly related to your surgery. Keep a running list of questions for your doc and dont be afraid to write down the answers right as he/she is giving them. Start bookmarking recipes, keep good track of all of your pre-op appt's. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
