Surgeon Testimonial

Guillermo Alvarez
Dr. Alavrez is an EXCELLENT surgeon. His office is \"state of the art.\" He has a great bed-side manner & is very professional. I can't imagine a surgeon who I would have preferred....anywhere. I know that my care in Mexico was far better than any care I would have gotten here in the states. He loves what he does & it shows. He's very confident & I liked that about him. You have to know that a doctor that videos his surgery & is happy to give you a copy is very confident of his skills. He is top-notch!!

3 week out- down 45 pounds!!
on February 18, 2008 12:48 pm
Well, it's been 3 weeks & I'm down 45 pounds.  It is so nice that people notice.  (My face was the first place I lost, so it was kinda obvious).  But can you believe my foot is smaller??!!  My dad wore at size 15 and my mom a size 10, so I didn't have a chance.  I wore a size 13W but now I'm down to a 12 regular.  Who knew??!!  My husband gave me a big hug today & realized that he can put his arms all around me!  That was nice!!  I'll be honest, I haven't had any protein shakes!  (Hope Dr. A & Susan don't read this!) In the first two weeks, I just pureed my meat.  Now I'm eating soft foods & it's great.  I believe I'm getting as much protein as I would by drinking the shakes.  I mean....you can only eat/drink so much, so I'd rather do the "real thing"!   I had nausea once...my husband made me home-made creamy brocolli & rice soup.  It was delicious but I got so naseaus as I took my 3rd bite.  I'm not eating as slow as I should...I know that.  I'm chewing more, but chewing too fast!  I took a bunch of clothes to our church's clothes pantry.  I will never wear a size 26-28 again.  And soon I'll be able to say that about 22-24!!
