New to the forum, thanks to everyone for all of your input. I will have to agree with several of you who have said they are a nervous wreck! I think I am scheduling my surgery with Dr Alvarez on Nov 30th and although I am ready and excited, I am also a little nervous. I will be traveling there by myself so any input is greatly appreciated! :)

We were sleeved by Dr Alvarez on 9/30. We felt safe and had no issues regarding our safety. Dr Alvarez is a fantastic surgeon and I would go to him again without hesitation.

I am scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on November 7. I was also a little nervous about the unrest but I think the staff is very good about directing you or family members around while you are there. I am excited and nervous.

Was sleeved Oct 26 - it was a good experience. No problems at all (other than nausea which is really a bummer!) If anyone wants more info please let me know.

Hi there' date=' I am interested in going to Mexico for VSG and was leaning toward Dr. Alvarez. I read there is a State Department warning to avoid all non-essential travel to Piedras Negras as of July 2013. While I am not a timid traveler, State Department warnings do have some credence. Can anyone tell me (who has been there recently - after the disruptions which began this summer) what they think of the safety in the city and the safety of the trip? It seems there have been some large gun battles in the streets in broad daylight...Thanks for letting me know your experiences.[/quote']

Hi there, I am being sleeved Nov 11 by Dr Alvarez.. Hubby going with me. Hearing its not a problem at all.

Yup - I can confirm it was no problem. My hubbie went out for food and I even went with him one day. It was no problem at all. We were safe and well cared for. Everything was great. I am even feeling less nauseas so life is looking good on this side too!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
