I've been reading any info I can find on Dr. Alvarez. I really like everything I've read about him, but I'm also scared that it could all be a crazy hoax (only b/c that's my luck w/things!) Is there anything you've read about him that worried you? And how hard was it to get financed? Thanks so much for the help!

One more thing, I'd LOVE to hear how everything goes for you after the surgery:) Good Luck!! You'll do great!

I am post op. everything went perfectly. Dr A runs a great program... I'd go to him again and again. I wish he was my PCP!

It was hard for me to get financed because I don't have the best credit. Endobariatrics only works with one finance co and the finance price is higher than the cash price. Cash is 8700, finance is 9100. Contact Susan, his coordinator. She is also sleeved so she has the inside scoop on what will happen during your surgery.

A blurb from my blog "By reading on a message board, I found out about lendingclub.com . I applied Friday and 5 days in I'm funded 46.67%. My ID is Member_1512427 in case you decide to go that route. I applied for $6000 and at a B4 credit rating, my interest is 13.11% for a 36 month loan. The payments will be $202.xx the price of a used car. It is peer to peer lending and individual investors contribute to the loan."

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
