Hello everyone. Well the surgery date is set, plane tickets purchased, pass port has arrived, the hotel is booked and last but not least I am beginning to have some severe anxiety. I want so much for this to work. As a self payer this is costing a lot, but most of all I am still scared to death of something going wrong. Or that my weight loss won't be as successful as some of you. Please don't get me wrong I am so grateful to be able to do this, but so many things have gone wrong in my life that its hard to think positive. For once I am really doing something for me and I just pray to God it's of his approval and that he won't let anything go wrong.

You know I just watched a YouTube video someone posted about their trip to Mexico for surgery with Dr Alvarez. It was very impressive and a really nice hospital too. What is the cost to go to him ? The lady in the video seemed to just cruise through it, it was hard to believe she had even had surgery . I could not find a single video for my doctor !!

Hi Leslie my name is Julie. It cost 8,700. I know he seems to be more expensive but I don't care he seems wonderful. I haven't heard one bad thing about him. His coordinator Susan is sweet as pie. Dr. A also has a paper back book u can buy at Amazon or even google it. It's has great info. Type Dr . Alvarez in Mexico in google and u can find a lot testimonies about him. If u have any questions let me know. I go on Oct 4th.

I agree. I have searched and searched and can't find one bad review. After watching the YouTube video I knew I have found my doctor. My surgery with Dr. Alverez is scheduled for Sept 27.

      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.
