AmyInOrlando 348 Posted July 9, 2013 I live in Orlando and I'm scheduled for surgery in Mexico with Dr. Alvarez on August 1st. It's getting close, and I'm getting excited. I just wish it was over already and I was already healing. I hope your journey has gone smoothly so far. Good luck and please stay in touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snufflegus 80 Posted July 9, 2013 My surgeon was Dr. Jawad he and his team were amazing!! Tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out. I was a self pay patient I went to my first consult in January and would've been done with my appointments and good to go in march, but scheduled my surgery in may because of my husbands work schedule. I took 2 weeks off work for recovery could've gone back at about 10 days with no issues! I had very little pain at all during the recovery, the worst was end of week 2 into week 3 at the large incision because my muscle was repairing itself. My husband went to Mexico for the sleeve dr. A Ortiz at OCC during my week 4. My journey has been wonderful!! If you have any questions feel free to ask! 1 AmyInOrlando reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
