Sleeved In Mexico By Dr. Alvarez Today!



Recommended Posts

Soooo excited!!! (Yet groggy, lol)

Everything was so quick and easy. I don't remember a thing. I was the second today to have my surgery. There were only 4 for the whole day. At around 10:30 AM I was given something to relax me, and at 3:30 I woke up already having been in my hospital room for hours. I was only under for 35 min. But I still needed my rest I guess. Then I had my cousin call my people (family, friends) for me and let them know I was ok. Then I went back to sleep till 6-6:30. Then I got up and walked down the hallway. Climbed back in bed, had my cousin and Jesus set up my extension cord, plugged in my iPhone and iPad and I'm good to go :-)

I totally recommend Dr. Alvarez!! Not only is he fine! But he's sweet, funny, and good at what he does. His staff is great too! I'll probably add more as my stay here goes on, but for now I'm tired. Goodnight :-)

Thanks guys for your support, prayers, and well wishes. I woke up and read them all and they gave me a smile :-) I'm still hooked up to the IV and in hardly any pain. No acid reflux, hardly any discomfort. I slept like a rock. But! I did bring ear plugs ( my cousin snores lol). I'm just gonna surf the web a little and go back to bed.

Sweetsusie! I showed Dr. Alvarez your pic! He remembers you and commented on how thin you are. I forgot to tell Jessica, sorry. But I was dealing with some pain today. Everyone here is so nice! I'm sad to be leaving tomorrow. But very hopeful for my future. :-)

I was sleeved by Dr. A in August. He is one truly great man, easy on the eyes too :)

Littlehope126.... I think you were there with Tami. I had chatted with her on the phone about my surgery experience. I am so glad that you did well. Hopefully you are feeling good now :) It takes a month or two to feel yourself again, but it will happen!

      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?
