Just curious...One of my clients here in Canada has and so I was recommended and a good friend who is a Dr here specializing in obesity with children has done her research says no news here is good news...It means no one has had to fix his mistakes. *whew*. Just wondering if anyone else has gone to him?

Congrats on your upcoming surgery with Dr. Alvarez. Maybe I will have the pleasure of meeting you. I will be sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on August 6th. Another friend of Mine Sweetsusie will be having hers done July 7th. Susie and I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Dr. A. in person in Houston for a seminar he held back in May. It was a great and wonderful experience. I know you will be happy with him. There are quite a few people here on the forums who used Dr. Alvarez. If you do a search on him, you can find past topics about their experiences.

My sister was just sleeved by him June 1. I went with her since I was sleeved last year here in the US. I wanted to make sure everything was good. It was a great experience! We both were VERY happy with him and his staff. We were treated wonderfully by him and his staff. You will be in great hands. They are the most caring people and they are so attentive. You wont be disappointed. She is doing very well. We Love Dr. A!!!!

Oh I am so glad you commented Forensikchic. I have been wondering how your sister has done since her surgery, I just hadn't taken the time to look you up and go through your post to see if you had posted about it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
