just had my surgery 12 hours ago. Not as bad as I had imagined. Recovery house is amazing....Will at A New Life is fantastic . the only thing I would've done different is have pain meds ready and waiting for when I came to after surgery. Waking up was just awful. Dr. Alvarez was amazing. He was honest about what to expect. I can't gain...or lose weight. I've been stuck at the same weight for 10 years. I ate junk for 2 weeks beforehand to try and gain some weight....I gained half a pound. haha. He decided to inject into my thighs as well, which was really nice. if I needed to do this again or any other cosmetic surgery, I would go with Alvarez no question. His bedside manner is awesome.
