Surgeon Testimonial Guillermo Alvarez M.D. 1/13/07 - I haven't got to meet Dr. Alvarez in person yet - but if he anything like his employees - he is going to be the best. I will post more when I get back from my surgery. 1/25/07 - My first impression was even better than I had expected and I had HIGH expectations. It only got more admirable over time. He was so attentive and went way above the call of duty to make sure we had a great experience. The support staff that I was fortunate enough to get to meet were outstanding. There was nothing about him I did not like. And I'm serious. He is the best. I can't imagine trying to get one up on this man. He has a fairly strict aftercare and expects you to adhere to it. This is extremely well laid out in written pages of aftercare instructions that you are given prior to your surgery so you will know what is expected of you. He lists all the risks of the gastric sleeve. Overall on a scale of 1 - 10 - I'd have to give this man at 25. He is totally awesome. Both his bedside manner and his surgical competence are GREAT. Like I said earlier I had high expectations BEFORE I let him operate on me and I am even more impressed now that he has done my surgery. Member Interests

Gastric Sleeve Date Set 1/22/07
This weight loss journey has not been easy. I am a 50 year old female that has been overweight or obese since high school. That is a long time. I, like all of you, have tried every kind of diet on this earth and here I am 80 pounds overweight. I finally decided to do something drastic because I want to live to a ripe old age and not die of obesity related issues. I was also headed back up to my all time highest weight of 265 and had to do something. I take this very seriously and hopefully I will have a successful journey and be able to help others along that journey too. The Gastric Sleeve is the opportunity for me. I researched them ALL. I began this WLS journey when I was 39 years old and only put it on hold at that time because my mother became ill and I had to cancel my appointment. I'm not cancelling this surgery date and will post more at a later date. I chose the self pay route and will be using two surgeons from Mexico because I feel very comfortable and it saved me thousands of dollars. Will post as I progress. 0 Comment(s)
