I thinking about choosing Dr Alvarez. Does anyone have any feed back? What about the percentage of weight loss with his patients. I see that some doctors claim to have as high as a 96% of excess weight loss. Does he do all of his surgeries? Thanks

He is wonderful....nothing bad to say. I had surgery April 2 with him and have lost 59 lbs so far. Down to 198. The whole experience before, during, and after surgery has been wonderful!

It will be hard to find anything negative about him, from what I have found.

      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! 😞
