"I’m officially a week out from surgery and wanted to share my experience with Dr. Alvarez at Endobariatrics. I’ll preface by saying that a month before my surgery, my husband had gastric sleeve done at another facility in Mexico. I was not happy with the experience and knew that there had to be better options out there. My journey was so much better and I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to place their trust in Endobariatrics. The facility is gorgeous and spotless, but the staff are the true gems. I am not exaggerating when I say that every need was considered before I even had to ask for anything. Every detail has been thought of ahead of time. Being at Endohospital felt like it was designed just for me and like I was the only patient. When I pressed the call button, someone was there within 30 seconds. I had the same couple of nurses the whole time and they are so sweet and gentle. Everyone spoke English and I never felt confused about the process or in the dark about what happens next (the exact opposite of my husbands experience).
When I woke from surgery I was really surprised that I had none of the dreaded gas pain that everyone talks about. I would rate my overall pain a 3 out of 10 for the first couple days. Another surprise is that I have no drinking restrictions. I was able to immediately drink my 64oz each day without a problem and never had nausea. My recovery has been much easier than my husbands and I attribute that to the methods Dr. A uses. As a business owner I can see and appreciate all the time, effort and expense that Dr. A has put into this practice. I am so grateful that I had this opportunity. Thank you Endobariatric Team and Dr. Alvarez!"
