Topic: RE: 7 years out VSG- down 200 pounds Dr. Guillermo Alvarez

Hi Joyfulness-

One of my Sleeve Sisters drove her self home 3 hour drive 3rd day post op.... No one had any problems traveling post op ... Stitches are located in 5 areas with steri strips on top ... they should absorb and stern strips will fall off ... No worries with any traveling Dr.A and team have done this so many times they know how to care for all that can happen with your travel .... Nausea , gas pain ..etc

They give you meds and written guide along with emails explaining everything to expect .

No worries !!! You are in GREAT HANDS ...............

BTW My flight was about 4.5 hours no problem with travel, You will see trust them

Hi CHAZ1966,

Thanks for your post! So happy all went well! Wow your almost in Onederland already WTG!!!

Just a few questions?

Did they use the glue on your wounds or sutchers?

How did you feel on your trip back? One concern for me is traveling just a few days after surgery.

thanks for your answers in advance, blessings to you

sincerely,

Joy aka joyfullness

Topic: RE: Post care after VSG

Thank you CHAZ1966. I am really excited about my surgery. I have to admit that from the moment I found Dr. A my mind as been at ease. I was just wondering about people that had the surgery and what was it like afterward. But it seems like even afterward you are treated like family. Thanks again for your reply.

Hi.. did you go to Dr. Jeorge Green cuz I'm scheduled with him the 23rd of this month.. you can't find any reviews on him unless it's under Medical Tourism and naturally those are all good...

Hi Everyone

I just had VSG with Dr A on 10/14/2017

HW-220

SW-209.8

CW-200.8

The whole team is amazing !! I went by myself and felt safe and was very well taken care of . Endobariatrics takes care of EVERYTHING ... You will get a book and guide that helps you navigate your post op stages etc.. You can call Susan @ anytime and she gets back to you very quickly ..... Dr A is very humble approachable and really wants us all to succeed .. I did A LOT of research prior to choosing Endo and trust me this is the team you want to care for you ...

Please feel free to ask me any questions

Hi Missexpress410-

You will not be disappointed .... Dr Alvarez and his team give you everything you need to succeed in your post - op care . He goes over everything with you and emails are sent with each post op stage and what to do along with a guide and book ..... My primary doctor is the same way but you need to do what is RIGHT for you ... Please don't worry about anything with Endobariatrics they will guide you through it and are there for you for any questions or concerns you have @ anytime pre surgery , Surgery or post -op ..... I really can't say enough good things about DrA ,Susan , Brandi surgical and hospital team and the nurses in the hotel !!!

Topic: Post care after VSG

Hello beautiful people. I am scheduled to be sleeved January 12, 2018 with Guillermo Alvarez at Endobariatric in Mexico. I am excited to go after being denied by my insurance a few years ago to have it here in the US. Question for those who have had their surgery already? What kind of post care did you have? I am at the beginning stages of getting all my information and I haven't come across that yet? My primary is against weight loss surgery altogether. So I could still go and just have her disappointed in me. But I want to hear from others. What was your after care like coming back to the US? I have seen so much on Dr. Alvarez that I do not want to go to anyone else. I just want to know about after care after surgery with Endobariatric. Thanks.
