Dr. Alvarez did my surgery last July. He was really great, and did a wonderful job. I'm down almost 100 pounds. I hope you all have a smooth recovery process, and good luck!

I had been wanting to see results of a female starting in the 400's. Thank you and congratulations! Everyone's comments have put me at ease about the surgery but yours was extremely motivating, I'm 5'2" and starting at 400lb. I'm 4 days into my pre-op diet and I am already feeling much better. Thank you so much!

Glad to find some Dr. Alvarez alums on here.  I am seeing him for my sleeve in about a month and like seeing that he's as good as I hoped he would be.

I'm looking into going to Alvarez on late Aug. I emailed them last night to see if Aug 26 or 27 is available. I did a lot of research months/year ago and finally have decided to do this. I'm miserable. Let me know when you get a scheduled date TXTINANA

Yes, I couldn't get my date as he's going to be out of town, so it was either the 22nd or Sept 7th. I chose the latter as the 22nd interfered with my vacation. Good Luck your day is right around the corner!

      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.
