  8. I had my sleeve done with Dr. Alvarez on 9-13-11. You guys are going to love him as well as his staff. I could not of asked for better care. I had a very uneventful recovery (thank goodness)! My incisions are so very small. Good luck and if you have any questions, please feel free to message me!
  9. cremedream--You are so very welcome! Please email me or msg me if you need any other questions answered!! I'm so excited for you!!! Thank you for the well wishes and please keep in touch!!! Kristin
  10. Ellie--- I worked from home yesterday and a little today. I will go back to the office tomorrow. I feel fine but just don't want to rush it. I've been walking quite a bit which has helped!! Thank you for the smooth recovery wishes!!! I'm hoping everything continues to go smoothly!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
  11. Ellie--- I'm 5 days post-op today and I feel like I had a very uneventful recovery!!! No complications, no nausea, no pain...just had gas pains but I took gas x and Zantac for that. I took my pain pills 3 times within the first two days home and it wasn't for pain but to help me relax and get some rest. The surgery is done in a hospital and you recover for 2 days in the hospital with either Dr. Alvarez or his ass't Dr. Rosales checking on you at least 4 times a day. The nurses come in about every hour to check on you as well. Everything was very clean (I'm a germ freak)! The hospital is old but clean. Another lady that had the procedure done the day before was alone from Florida. You instantly make friends with everyone and they make you feel like they are your family. Rosy, who is Dr. Alvarez's cousin, picks you up from the airport and takes you across. She is amazing and super sweet! She puts you at ease and will answer any questions you may have. I hope this has helped and made you feel better... Please let me know if there is anything else I can answer. Kristin

Please email me or msg me with any questions....I would be happy to answer any questions you have! Good luck! Kristin
