    Oh! How exciting! Do you have a date yet?
  8. so i have a couple questions..... so a couple of my doctors are wanting to do a couple other procedures on me. such as my obgyn wants to do a hysterectomy,my orthopedic dr. wants to do surgery on my knees, my oncologist wants to do a bone marrow test to see why i keep bruisingup up in different parts of my body. so with all of that being said i would like to know if i should wait until after my procedure to continue on with these things or if its ok do these things before?

    also upon my return i would like to if it wil be recomended to get The Myers Cocktails done to help with recovery? The Myers Cocktail consists of:


    IV Fluids Normal Saline 1000ml with added:

    Magnesium choride Hexahydrate 825mg
    Selenium (sodium selenium) 55mcg
    Calcium gluconate 300mcg
    Ascorbic Acid 10gm
    Thiamine 100mg
    Riboflavin 5-phosphate 2mg
    Niacinamide 100mg
    Pyridoxine hcl 100mg
    Hydroxocbalamin 1mg

    and / or the use of essential oils? Doterra is the name of the essential oils. So just wanting to know if it will be ok to use the oils still up until my surgey date and then resume them afterwards? or if i need to stop them at anytime before my date?

    If you want another doctor you will have to go to a different facility. As far as I know he is the only Dr. in TJ with Weightloss Agents.
  10. so ive been reseaching dr. Almanza and his reviews are kind of scary to me . so how do you deal with patients wanting to possibly request another dr?

Im so scared of failing!!!!

by Martini on 07-26-2017 at 02:59 PM
i have my date already. but the problem for me is knowing when to start doing a low calorie diet. i was only told to do a liquid diet for 5 days before my procedure. they never said anything about doing a low calorie diet or anything else for prior to surgery.


Also my next issue is that my family at home is not very supportive of anything. I have already been mentioning the fact that im not supposed to be eating any beef or pork. but the more that i express any of this
