@kierachannel9393 omg. I was wrong and right haha the pain is still there. I'd def follow the diet after . Gotta admit it hurts to have anything go down. And you will need someone to help you get up from laying down. It's a painful recovery still and I'm 6 days post op. No regrets tho!
Dr.Alvarez your the only surgeon in the world that offers us so many avenues to guide us through this amazing journey. Thank you for taking the time to give us all of this useful info . You can’t go wrong if you follow Dr. A’s videos, manual and use all the resources that he’s made so easy to follow. Thank you Dr. Alvarez ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i'm 4 days post-op and thats the last thing on my mind , i don't even want to be around anyone i'm just focus on my paper work 2 or 3 times a day and diet. i only do what the doctor says, every thing you say is 100% true thanks
Thank you. I’m trying to be proactive. I just met my surgeon yesterday already got a bariatric app on my phone. Read all my papers given to me and just found you. I meet with the dietitian on 1/17/24 still waiting to get my liver & gallbladder ultrasound.
Hi Doctor Alvarez, my surgeon retire and I think he even passed away shortly after my surgery , it's been since 2014, I am watching all of your videos because I don't have anyone to follow up with anymore. You are very helpful Sir
Please watch this video and listen to Dr.A about how to get ready for the surgery. I was scared hearing the word diet but Doctor A’s pre-op diet was easy to follow and everything went well for my surgery. The assistance I received from his office the information was so helpful I didn’t even need to call Dr. A. The writing information answered most of my questions before I left the United States it is so well written it helped me go through the surgery and after the surgery easily.
I appreciate your videos. I like my surgeon but if I was in your area I’d choose you. I don’t have my surgery date yet. I like the way you explain everything
I’m scheduled to get a VSG on the 23rd and I am so nervous. My anxiety is all over the place. I know I need it, but I’m so worried that something might go wrong. I have diabetes high cholesterol and blood pressure and this would all be gone after surgery… Do you have any encouraging words that would calm my anxiety down.
Hope your VSG went well and your recovery is smooth . I’m in your position now lol . But I know the pros outweigh the cons and I take naps longer than the time it takes to do the procedure so I’m trying to keep positive
@@NajimaMuslimah I know everyone is different, but it was a breeze for me. I had no nausea or gas pain. No side effects from the surgery at all. Hands down the best decision I ever made in my life! All the health issues I had are gone…. I hope you have the same experience and a quick recovery. A little advice walk walk walk as soon as u can right after surgery. I thinking that’s why I didn’t have gas pain. I had a lot of anxiety over the surgery and it wasn’t bad at all. Best of luck 🤞
@@Taurusb234 don’t be scared. It was easy for me I and hope it’s easy for u. They will make sure ur pain in under control and remember remember to walk walk walk….
Thank you very much! I will get a operation very soon around september but my dietist sayd I must refeed my body so I went from 400 a 800 calories to 2000 a day and 6 times a day eat. But I told them I will gain weight if I ate so much. They dont believe me, I gain this week 1 kg but I must lose 5 kg before the operation. I really dont know how because refeeding my body means gain weight so after gaining weight I must lose a lot. I will buy your book and follow the pre- surgical diet 2 weeks before the operation.. I hope then I should lose 5 kg plus the Kg of refeeding. But I am afraid that refeeding my body with so many calories will give me the opposite effect.
Hi Dr. Alvarez, may I ask the reason for slimy saliva everytime I eat? They sometimes can be so sticky that It causes me unable to burp and made me vomit. Sometimes I have to force water down to vomit out the sticky slimy saliva. Appreciate you can advise me the cause as I have highlighted to my doctor before and he doesn't seem to answer my question let alone providing me a solution
My surgery is in 2 days the 11th of July! I'm so ready.
mine is 7/23!! keep us informed please friend

We have to do liquid diet 2-weeks prior to surgery. My surgery is scheduled for 11/30/23.
How are you recovering?

Where can I find the Book? what is the name of the book?
Can I ask a question I was told that if I have this done it will help me breath better. I have COPD. Does it really help. I weight 220lbs
This is so so helpful!! Thank you Dr Alvarez
Thank you for your assistance has helped a lot. Can I ask how you feel about drains with gastric sleeve surgery
I personally don't use drains as part of our sleeve procedure.
What the book called that would be good for me to purchase so I may know what I need to buy week to week to have a successful outcome
I'm scheduled for surgery on July 26...
How are you doing ?
Love him so much
Dr Alverez does your surgery clinic offer a VSG support group?
Yes we do Amanda. Regards.
