Any Dr. Guillermo Alvarez patients here?



Recommended Posts

I am headed to Eagle Pass, TX in July and then on to see Dr. Alvarez in Mexico for my sleeve surgery!! I have researched several Dr's for over a year before making my decision to go with Dr. Alvarez, however he was my first choice!! Would love to hear from anyone that has been to the same Dr. I am looking to loose over 150 lbs! I'm 5' 8" tall and 340 lbs! I'm so ready to begin my wonderful new journey.

I will be there July and I'm very excited!! My mom keeps asking me if I'm worried or scared but I don't feel that way at all.. At first I thought I would because I'm going to Mexico but I have a very happy and excited feeling!! I'm so ready for July to get here!! Congrats and good luck to all of you!

Actually, I fly on the 11th and my surgery date is the 12th. Even though I hear and read nothing but terrific things about him, I'm sill nervous about the surgery.

I am 15 days out of surgery. Did great. Love the staff and Dr. Alvarez of course!! We drove to Eagle Pass from South Carolina. It was a long trip but certainly worth it!!! You will do great.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
