Alvarez Or Aceves...help Me Decide



Recommended Posts

Thanks! I'm excited for me too! It sounds like everything went well for you. How much weight have you lost? Have you had any issues/complications?

I've just had it on June 25th so I'm a week out and I've lost about 4 pounds. Total though from my liquid diet is 19 pounds. I haven't weighed myself today and I'm trying to hold out until Saturday because I don't want to discourage myself with weighing everyday like I normally do LOL! No complications at all. :)

The cost is 8700 if you're having the sleeve. 1000 deposit and the balance due when you arrive. My surgeon's self pay price is 14,000.

I was quoted $9200 for the surgery...Does anyone know if they base it on your BMI?

I'm no quite sure, but I do know at the time that I called, his office was offering a discounted price.

With Dr. Alvarez if you are a higher BMI, they charge $500.00 more. That is what is stated on the website under packages.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
