Hi, I would like to find out if anyone has gone to Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico. I have been talking to a gal from his office who is very nice. I am a self-pay, who has been checking around and looks like Mexico is the way to go for me, even though my husband is not real keen on the idea. Any info will be helpful.

Everything has gone great since getting banded on the 15th of March. Dr. Alvarez nurse had a list of fill doctors in my area for me. Where do you live? I am in the Dallas area and there is a fairly long list of fill doctors in this area. Hope it helps and best of luck. I can say that Dr. Alvarez is wonderful!! Take care!

Did you book your surgery with Dr. A for May 15th?? That is the day I was planning on having an appointment with him for a checkup and fill. It would be great to meet you then! WEight loss is going alright. I am down 20 but weight loss has slowed down drastically since the swelling for surgery is gone and since I have been eating solids. This is normal from what I have read. I get my first fill on Friday here in Dallas so that should jump start the weight loss back into action.

Best of luck to you and let me know if you have booked your date yet!! Thanks, Misty

Just thought I'd let you know I'm finally set for May 31. Wondering how you are doing MistyD. I have to do liquids for 2 weeks preop, but that's OK, (at least I say that now), just want to start that new road ahead.

That is so awesome. I am doing great. I am holding fast at 22 lbs lost which is really great since I haven't exercised and been under an enormous amount of stress, which is when I usually eat! I still can eat but it is much smaller amounts and then I am full and satisfied. I really love this band. It helps me even when like now I can't help myself. Congrats on your date. Dr. A is wonderful and you will love him!!

<p>Hi all,</p> <p> </p> <p>just wanted to update and let you all know thst I am doing great after my surgery. I had an issue with my scars being very itchy about 3 weeks ago. But I started putting cotisone on it for a few days and then mederma, and now the are looking good, not red any more and starting to fade just alittle. I am excited about that. I have lost a liitle around 24lbs. I am slowing down now with my w/l, and eating a little more now so I might be ready for a fill. The staff at dr A's office sent me a x-mas card, and e-mails me from time to time. I really feel that I made a good decision by choosing this team to do my surgery. Susan was wonderful. Rosy was also very sweet. If anyone has any questions, I would be glad to help in any way.</p> <p> </p> <p>Merry Christmas!<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/whoo.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Whoo" smilieid="339" class="inlineimg" /></p>
