"What can I say about Dr. Alvarez and his staff that hasn't already been said? Not too much. What you read is all true! I was scheduled for a LAP-BAND to VSG revision on July 24th. Thanks to Dr. Alvarez's amazing assistant, Susan, I was given all the information I needed, along with paperwork, well ahead of time. She let me know that my surgery may have to happen in two parts, depending on the condition of my band, and the scar tissue. (Dr. Alvarez doesn't like taking any risks, which makes him the great surgeon that he is!)
Oh and if I had any questions, or concerns, I could email Susan at any time, and she'd email me back immediately.
Well luckily, I had the whole procedure done in one shot. Everything went well. Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Rosales checked on me often, as did the nurses. Anali and Jessica were fabulous. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Salinas was great too.
My husband was the one who really freaked out about my going to Mexico for this surgery. When we got to Piedras Negras, and met the kind and amazing Dr. Alvarez, my husband became more relaxed. He liked him ALOT! By the next day, he was walking around the town to find places to eat. Rosy picked us up on my discharge date, took us back over the border safely. We never worried about a thing.
If I had the choice to do this again, would I do it? In a HEARTBEAT! "
