Recommended Posts

I am planning on having VSG with Dr. Alvarez. I have talked to a couple of his patients and got very good feedback. I just wanted to reach out to more of his patients on here to see what their experiences were like. Thanks so much.

Dr. Alvarez is GREAT!! He did my sleeve April 9th and I have no regrets. I would go back to him in a heartbeat. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Please feel free to PM me and I'd also be happy to chat with you on the phone. I love him and his staff and felt great about my experience. I went with by best friend and we had the procedure the same weekend (about 2 months ago). Good choice:)

Yep- I went with VV2010 and we had a fantastic experience- Dr. Alvarez is a most excellent professional and his staff is terrific as well. I am THRILLED with my sleeve and had no issues with healing. Two months out, I'm leading a very normal life- working out and eating healthy- just smaller portions than my "old life"! Dr. Alvarez was wonderful- I definitely recommend!!

I had a good experience. I felt I was treated very well and enjoyed talking with the other 2 girls that were sleeved the same day as I was. No complications and I am doing well.

Jane, I checked out your link to the thread on leaks and infections. What I saw referred to a Dr. Almanza in Tiajuana I believe. I am planning on going to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. Do you have any info on him? Thanks.

I am so sorry Soon I did not read it properly, why are all their names beginning with A, its so confusing for the hard of thinking :blushing: I just was scared for you after reading Stoongals terrible story.

I haven't heard anything shonky about this guy, or the Aceves chap.

VSG is brill and all the very best with it,

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
