Tryingtobringsexyback 17 Posted May 31, 2013 I had my sleeve done on March 1st 2013. Love Dr Alvarez! His team is wonderful. You will be in great hands. I was there on march 2, 2013. Maybe we passed each other walking the halls. How is it going? I have lost 43 lbs and I couldn't be more excited. 2 Scared@#@#less! and AmyInOrlando reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ksredhead 29 Posted June 4, 2013 Was everyone happy with Dr Alvarez? Trying to decide on a doctor for this summer and looks like he has a lot of nice feedback. I wouldn't trade my experience with Dr. Alvarez for the world. It's not just him either, all the docs, nurses, patient coordinators are amazing. They made my husband and I feel at home and went above and beyond to answer questions, make me comfortable and informed. I honestly was only in pain when they put the IV in (I have rolling veins) and never was uncomfortable with sickness; but they were ready to assist if I did. They are world class and I am thankful that I found them. I feel like I have ALL the tools and support to suceed thanks to them. 2 TheCurvyJones and AmyInOrlando reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iminthis4me 10 Posted June 4, 2013 Hi ksredhead, When did you have the surgery by Dr. Alvarez? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iminthis4me 10 Posted June 4, 2013 My Surgery with Dr. Alvarez is scheduled for this Saturday ! Lord, the time just flew by. I'm excited and can't wait. I've heard so many good things about him and the staff that I really feel everything is going to go perfectly but there's still that thought in the back of your head related to all those ladies talking about how they couldn't swallow and had really bad gas and heartburn the day after surgerly. Lord, I hope I follow in the footsteps of the less hurtful ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
