Question:
Dr. Alvarez in Dec...anything to do in that area?

I am having surgery with Dr. Alvarez on the 27th and I have a few questions for you veterans...it's really for my mom who is accompanying me. Is there stuff to do in the area if she gets bored? And, if so, should she rent a car to be able to do stuff?    — scraft120 (posted on December 5, 2008)

I can tell you that I went to Mexico Dr Aceves did my surgery. I had the vgs as well. I was well cared for and the surgery took all of about 2 hrs. I was walking the halls with my iv that evening. They made me feel so comfortable. It was the best surgery experience of my life! I had a C-sect. & hysterectomy. I loved my drs. I went all alone from Missouri to San Diego. Not one problem. There were 2 other woman getting the same thing- they also came alone. As for driving, I wouldn't. You might want to ask your coordinator whats around for mom to do?? Good luck.

I had my surgery Nov 19th and i am down 20lbs. Also, I was supposed to go to Dr Alarvez but I changed my mind due to reading some stories here on OH. Instead I was so pleased to go to Dr Aceves in Calexico, Mex. Clean private hospital, most spoke english, wonderful staff and drs. Do more research!
