I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez April 9th. I am so glad that I picked him. He was awesome and I have had no issues with my sleeve. I got off of my 2 BP medications 9 days post op and no longer have diabetes. I am down 48 pounds and feeling great. Just follow all of his instructions and you will do great!!

You will be very impressed with Dr. Alvarez. Crossing the border with Rosie is a breeze. Me and my parents felt very safe and relaxed during the whole process from start to finish. I am fortunate that it is only 180 miles from where I live, so it was a very easy drive.

I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on May 11 this year, only 3 weeks post-op. I was extremely impressed by him and his staff. He is very professional and the staff was as well. They all make you feel very welcome and comfortable. The hospital is older but the rooms have been up dated, the placed is spotless, the nurses all wear white uniforms, and you have a "personal assistant" so to speak that will interpret for you and anyone that goes with you. I haven't had any issues, at all, everything has gone so smooth and Dr. Alvarez is available by email or phone with anything you may need. He keeps in touch with his patients via email and Facebook, and they have a reunion every year for everyone to get together (Dr. Alvarez is there also).:thumbup1:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
