HELP

I am looking into having surgery with Dr. ALVAREZ and would like any information from people who have had the sleeve done with him.

Thank you!!

I had mine done last Tuesday (July 29) with him. He did a great job. I am back at work six days later and I wouldn't say I feel 100%, but I definitely feel WAY better than I was expecting to this early on. He's a little on the strict side of post op diets compared to what some other people I've read have said, but since I've had zero complications from following his instructions, I think he does it for good reasons.

Personally speaking, he and all the other doctors and nurses were really nice and totally pro. It seemed like everybody knew exactly what they were doing. The hospital is in the middle of a renovation right now, so there were some areas that had stuff like exposed drywall in some hallways, but they're trying to keep it as non-distracting as possible, and everything was totally clean and well-organized, and it didn't affect the routine of patients.

Post-op, he does great follow up care. He checks in regularly and returns emails quickly if you have any questions. I emailed him on Sunday about something very minor and he replied within 5 hours, and it was a question that he could have left until normal business hours on Monday. And you're released with paperwork that spells out exactly what was done and how, to give to your doctor.

Honestly, the only thing I sacrificed by having it done there is the convenience of being able to drive up the street to check in. The travel was a little tiring by the end, and I was happy to be home. But he's a very good doctor, and really does a very thorough and professional job. I'd totally recommend his practice.
