LLSib, whats the email or website for your doctor. I looked him up on google that he charges $8000. Thanks Vixie

Nile, how the heck are you shedding those pounds so quickly? Are you exercising like a mad man or its it mostly calorie control. Wow, its really motivating. I would be on cloud nine with result like that. You must feel like a new man.

Thanks all. I have not paid him. Its funny, I was planning on sending the deposit the day I recieved the email canceling my appointment. I know you are all right, but its a little tough for me. Im a self pay and the doctor only charges $6800. What I liked about him was that he was close enough that I could drive to his office to do the fills and adjustments. Whats odd is that I've seen postings raving about how great his bed side manner is. I wonder if he really has another engagment or if he's blowing me off because I question him about his price. The only other doctors that is in his price range, lives in Monterery, so I will have to fly out to see him. There is a Dr. Rodriguez who has an office in acuna, but his office looks so run down that its scary. They say he has all the latest equipment, but look at this link of his facilities Medical Facilities Seeing my ex really "brought home" just how badly I've let myself go. Its not just the weight, its everything. When we were dating, I wouldnt have left the house without my makeup and hair done. I took a lot of pride in how I looked. Now its a pony tail and some lipstick in the car. Where oh where did the old me go. I just kept thinking, how did I let it get this far. I guess the process is so slow, that you dont even realize it.

Two weeks ago, I scheduled my surgery for June 29, with Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I've been all excited and nervous about the surgery for days now. I wrote his patient coordinator because I noticed that I was being charge more than others patients of his on the board. She gave me all kinds of crazy reasons that didn't seem to make sense to me, but after a few emails dropped it. Well, a few days later she drops me an email to say that my surgery has been canceled because something came up. She promised to get back to me with new dates. Well, days went by and I didn't hear from her. So I contacted another one of his patient coordinators and she tells me that they have lots of openings this month and she can get me in as soon as next week. So being totally confused as to what was going on, I contacted the doctor directly. He said he canceled my appointment because he had a speaking engagement and that we would be too busy to do my surgery this month, but that he would have his patient coordinator contact me with new dates. When more time has gone by and nothing. Not a single person has bothered with me. I was really bummed because I was really excited by the whole thing. I went out to dinner with my sister, looking rather disheveled because I've been a bit depressed. Well, wouldn't you know it. I ran into an old boyfriend who I haven't seen in 6 years, when I weighed 130 pounds! I weigh over 300 now and I looked like I just rolled out of bed. Of course, he still looks gorgeous. :faint: Good grief, what a day. Please, someone kill me now!

I retracted this question because I have now had an experiance with Dr. Alvarez and hes staff. I would never go to this doctor.
