I Just Bought Dr Alvarez's Book!



Recommended Posts

Even though he is not my surgeon, I decided to buy his book, since it looked like it had lots of info for us sleevers. Anyone else have it? I will pass it to my aunt when im done :)

I have to tell you guys - I bought Dr. A's book several weeks ago and I keep going back and re-reading parts of it because I think it's that good. I also emailed Dr. A and he spoke with me and we even did FaceTime and talked!! If I didn't feel the need to stay more local, he would have been my next choice. My top 3 were Dr. Kelly, Dr. Aceves and Dr. Alvarez. I was soooo impressed by a surgeon who took time out of his day to FACETIME with me - someone who is NOT his patient - because he believes in this procedure as a life saver.

So, I can only say really good things about Dr. Alvarez and he's not even my doctor. :)

      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?
