Has anyone had surgery with Dr.Alvarez. I have not been able to find anything negative about him but also I have not seen anything positive about him in this forum. He seems to have a good "Track Record" if you will.

Can anyone share their experience with him.

Thanks. :)

Dr. Alvarez did my sleeve 4/9/10. I was very impressed with him and his staff. I would recommend him highly. One big plus for me was that it was only 190 miles from my house to Eagle Pass. Even if I would have had to travel across the country, I would have still been happy with my choice. I have had great success and no complications at all. Dr. Alvarez is awesome and his attitude shows that he loves what he does. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to talk to you. PM me if needed.

Good luck!!

I had my surgery with him March 29th and have had no problems and am doing well. I am from Canada and did do some research including talking with 4 other Canadians that also had good things to say when I talked with them.

      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?
