    Hi Dr. alvarez. I wondered if you could please answer a question for me? I was sleeved on Dec 6th 2011 and seem to suffer from terrible wind. I burp constantly and wondered why this is? I try to walk at least 1.5hrs each day to get exercise until I start going to some classes and notice that every time Iv walked for some time my shoulders ache terribly. Would this be anything to do with the surgery? Someone said it could be the gasses, but I'd have thought they would have left my body by now. I do burp constantly when I'm walking. I hope you don't mind me asking. Regards. Karon

    Dr. A! Life and my health have been great! I'm forever changed since making the decision to have VSG! As mentioned to you before, I am going to be your poster child for the positive changes that can happen with WLS. Your book always rests on my nightstand and serves as a constant reminder that I am conquering my weight issues. I am down to 271 lbs and still losing. I am just 60 lbs away from my goal weight and continuing to look forward to a skinnier me! Thanks for what you do! Also, from a business standpoint, you may want to consider partnering with a plastic surgeon for tummy tucks and other cosmetic surgery for past patients. Seems like a great opportunity!

    Hi Dr. Alvarez! How are things going down in Piedras Negras???? I am down over 108 pounds! I am 171.4 pounds and have gotten active again with my cycling...my husband and I just got home from a 12 mile ride. We try to do that several times per week and boy does it change a person's outlook when you're active. I am still eating very little and taking care to stop eating when I begin to feel a twinge of restriction. I think this may be my trick to not stretching out my sleeve over time!!!
    Anyway, that is just a quick update...thanks again for changing my life.

    Dr. Alvarez,
    I'm back! 15 weeks out and 72 pounds! I'm feeling so incredible and have decided that the gastric sleeve is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
    Thank you again for changing my life!

    Dear Dr. Alvarez,
    I just wanted to let you know that I got a really nice compliment yesterday. First off, I am down 32 pounds since I started the pre-op diet January 10. My manager yesterday at work said to me "I can't get over your skin tone and radiant appearance!" She says that because she had another employee who had gastric bypass who had fantastic weight loss as well, however, she said that she looked ashen, almost grey in color and did not appear healthy. I can only attribute this to the fact that with the sleeve, there is no malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. These little things make me so happy to have chosen the gastric sleeve and most importantly you as my surgeon. Thank you again for helping me the other day when I wasn't feeling well! You were so responsive and that means the world to me!
    Your friend,
    Lisa Shepler
