I am a patient of Dr. Alvarez. You have chosen the very best! I know you are excited about the upcoming surgery and let me tell you, you will be very well taken care of!! I was sleeved by him on June 1st. I had absolutely no problems and they were super nice to me!! I don't think I've ever received that good of health care anywhere in the states that I can recall. He is a very sweet, personable doctor and his staff is very helpful. I had no nausea, no major pain, nothing. I really had a great experience and have lost 55 pounds already! The best part is, he and his staff are always available anytime via phone or email and he'll email you himself if you have questions and want it straight from him. He's very generous with his time and very caring. Good luck to you!!

Hi Emmy, and welcome to the boards. Nice to finally meet you. I am Jennifer (Jenn) I do believe we already spoke through email. Our days if approaching fast.

There is a thread about Dr. Alvarez if you wish to view it. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/45010-dr-alvarez-august-sleevers/ A friend of mine SweetSusie has already had her surgery (July 7th) she responds to those posts.

There is also an august sleevers group: It is a very big, long group But tons of people with the same feelings/emotions. Check it out if you wish.

Thanks Joyce. I am not nervous (YET). I am in the hotel room relaxing for the moment. Waiting for the dentists driver to pick me up later on around 7 for my x-rays and impressions. Then I will come back and sleep for the night or so I hope. I am feeling pretty good, about tomorrow, no worries. I may have nerves or anxiety in the morning, but not fears.

This city is crazy, Hubby and I did drive to the casino to try our luck, but that didn't go so well. Thats when you walk out and save the rest of your money. So now we are lounging in the room, he's watching tv, I'm contemplating a nap, and he is waiting on his delivery (pizza hut) to get here. OH BOY, that ought to be fun.. May be the perfect time for a bath if I am not sleeping.

I will update here tomorrow as soon as I am able, I have already showed hubby how to update the Facebook for me so he can let everyone know that I am out of surgery at least. Thanks for all the well wishes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
