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.

I am back in San Antonio and can say that my experience with Dr. Alvarez was fantastic. Everyone is so caring and eager to help you be successful. After I get home I will write up my story. I would recommend them 1000%.

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.

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. :)

Did you do anything special that would have contributed to your not having any pain with gas and heartburn like the other stories I've read?

      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.
