I had my surgery with Dr. A on May 9th. I went with someone, but would have been perfectly fine by myself. They take really good care of you there. I've had no issues and am super happy with my choice. I'm getting some follow up blood work done on Monday, but already my blood pressure is within normal range. I would highly recommend Dr. A; he is a very skilled surgeon.

Should I bring my lap top to the Hospital? I'm going alone and I don't want to get bored. Do they have wireless internet? I can't remember the name of the hospital Dr. Alvarez uses... but if you've been there please let me know. Thanks

That's what I was quoted as well. I sent the deposit last Tuesday, so I expect to hear from Susan tomorrow, and get the rest of my pre-op information. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

Hi, Susie. ;)

Thinking of taking my daughter to Dr.A sometime this fall. She wants to drive, does not like to fly. I will ask if it is less $ to meet them in Eagle Pass. Text me sometime! I hope that you are all healed from the car accident now!

My appt is July 13th with Dr. Alvarez, we are driving 15+ hours to Eagle Pass, my total is $8700, paid the $1000 deposit so upon arrival I will owe $7700.00 as far as I know there is no discount for driving to Eagle Pass because i am paying the regular price. They have two pickup places one in San Antonio and one in Eagle Pass.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Everyone I've talked to said $8700.00 is what they paid. Susan said their prices haven't changed since last time I contacted them which was in 2010. The only other charge I have heard of is $500 for people with a BMI over 50. I haven't heard of any discounts or anything, but I'm perfectly happy with the low cost!!! It's over $20,000.00 here in my area of the us!!

      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?

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?

      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! 😞
