I have been back from Mexico for 10 days now and doing great. No complications, pain, or nausea. I would highly recommend Dr. Alvarez and as a self-pay, the price was a lot less than I could find in the US and I think the care was even better. 

If anyone is looking for a Mexican doctor who does only sleeves or band to sleeve revisions, check him out at endobariatric.com. I'd be happy to talk about my personal experience too.

So glad to hear that you are back and everything has gone well for you. I just received my approval email from Susan and am planning to have my sleeve done in August with Dr. Alvarez.  I am so excited to begin this journey.

Congratulations! The only thing you might not like in August is the heat! I was so glad to get it done in March and not have to deal with the heat. I mean, the hospital is air  conditioned of course but even just walking in and out to the van... I'm a real wuss when it comes to heat and humidity.

To be honest, I am not fond of the heat either, but I will just have to try to stay out of the sun and deal with it.

Congratulations on your surgery with Dr Alvarez.  I have recommended him to a few of my friends and my daughter.

I'm doing great! The surgery was easy for me and I've had very little discomfort or anything since day 1. Tomorrow is 3 weeks. I'm starting to wonder if he really gave me a sleeve or not because it's been so easy ;)
