    Hi Misty, I'm a RN also. I'm scheduled for surgery on Aug. 1, 2013. I did a lot of research on line and chose Dr. Alvarez for my surgery in Piedra Negras. I'll be flying into San Antonio and the hospital is a mile over the border. I'm excited, but nervous about making the trip alone. I'm hoping to meet other Patients in the Hospital Van or the Hotel where I'll be spending the first night. Good luck with your surgery. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Best wishes



    Started this journey on 7/18/2013 @ 204.8 with 14 day pre-op liquid diet
    Day of surgery 8/1/2013, fully clothed on Dr. Alvarez's scale @ 195
