I see that this doctor is popular......have there been any REAL problems with this doctor and the outcome of his operations ? Afraid of possible leaks...etc.? Anyone experience this...? I am desperate to lose the 100 pounds + of weight....

There are many people on this forum that have been to Dr. Alvarez. I was sleeved by him on August 2. he is an amazing surgeon. I had truly wonderful care at the hospital. My husband traveled with me and was very impressed with Dr. A and is staff. He speaks perfect English and will always get right back to you when you have a question or a problem. I can help you speak to many others that had surgery with him, if you want to PM me. He is more $ than the Dr's in TJ but I think he was worth every penny. It is very safe to cross the border at Piedras Negras and Rosie takes great care of you as she transports you to and from the hospital. I am doing great now and had basically no pain from the time I woke up from surgery. My surgery experience was truly great. There are a couple of Dr. Alvarez threads under the Mexico surgery board on here too. You can also go to Obesityhelp.com and find loads of info on him there, there are hundreds of testimonies on there for him.

      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.
