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:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
