Hey can anyone tell me about Dr Alvarez? He seems to be priced really well, and free fills for life.:help:

have you found any info on dr alvarez? i am scheduled for surgery in nov.

[nan42 2]

I have spoke to Susan his patient

coordinator apparently he does a lot or lap band revisions (removes band and performs a sleeve no fills no device) I have not scheduled yet I really would prefer a sleeve but its $9800 which is not expensive once you add up the fills. But when you don’t have $9800 it might as well be $50,000. I may wait and save up. Are you seeing him?

I've also corresponded with Susan, his patient coordinator. He's very reasonably priced, and since I live in San Antonio, TX, I really wouldn't need the hotel room or anything. He seems to be very highly qualified, and his patients speak very highly of him. His lapband pricing is well below others that I've researched, and since I have to pay for this myself, that's probably the route I'll go.
