Hi Pam,
I am 4 weeks post op. from Alvarado and know that you will be pleased. Everything there is so well designed for obese patients. I had the very best care in the hospital and I know that you will too. I also had Joanna as my angel and she is so supportive and helpful. Some day we can both be angels - just like her. I wish you the every best and know that a "bright" attitude will speed the healing process. Best of luck. Susan Huntzinger
