Surgeon Testimonial

Guillermo Alvarez M.D.
My Whole Mexico experience went beyond my expectations!
Let me start of by saying everything is so well coordinated from Rosie picking us up at the Airport to the Hotel Stays And the operation,
to the day we leave.
Dr Alvarez is such a Amazing surgeon and wonderful person , its incredible how he makes you feel at ease once to get to talk to him in his office. My Mom and I felt so confident in him.He comes and visits you alot ater surgery. You can be confident in what he says is exactly how it is going to be, for example, I had a bit of a sore throat after surgery and he said he was going to give me some anti inflammatory meds for that and in 48 hours it will be back to normal and sure enough that’s exactly how it went.
He does all the possible to make you and your guest feel comfy . I have never met a Dr Quite like him.
Yes, The hospital is a older hospital with old style ways but very clean, and the nurses take very good care of you.
and when we where there, they were constructing 4 new suites just for his patients I am pretty sure they are going to be great!
I am so very happy I chose Dr Alvarez to perform my V.S.G.

My Story

HERE IT GOES........
well like some here I was never a overweight child or teen I was involved in ballet tap and jazz since the age of 3 and my teen years I was a cheerleader for middle school and high school , so I was active. but this weight came creeping up on me about two yeas ago I am 23 years old, I am married to a very good man and I have a four year old son that’s my pride and joy =) after I had my child I managed to loose weight on Atkins I felt good about my weight loss but then gain it all back and more then I tried theses Brazilian diet pills that I lost sooo much while on them but ones I got off all the weight and more came back and that’s when I saw myself in the two hundreds wow! ever since I have been in the two hundreds I have not been sleeping well I have a  lack of confidence, I feel depressed at times. I sometimes don’t want to go out in public , I hate to have to go to family events, I know they are going to criticize me ;( yes even family..... and I cant Handel that because I am very sensitive when it comes to my weight .i am 225 right now and i am 5'2. I have been researching wls since 11/14/06 and I have learned so much here . At first I thought I wanted a lap band but then I researched into the vertical sleeve and knew that it was for me! and it has been hard for me because  I will have to self pay, but I finally found the answer to my prayers Dr Alvarez in Mexico...... not only is he one of the best but the price is amazing so, I am waiting on the loan approval and then hopefully I will be sleeved !!! yay!!! cant wait I am very nervous, lots of reasons because I will be flying for the first time, and I will be going to a different county to have wls and i will be leaving my family for a few days =( and I am scared of the anesthesia people don’t understand why I am scared of the anesthesia, well ..... because I have never had General anesthesia and I feel as if I will be able to feel when they are operating on me and then I will die of the pain..... l.o.l kind of ridicules thought but it is a thought of mine , I have not done so well with local anesthesia in the past and the epidural did not work to well on me so I hope this will be completely different ,if any of you read this and have some advise or just want to share stories with me please feel free I love to make new friends and the only people I can talk to about wls is the people here on the OH website. I am so very happy I found this support system here, thanks Everyone!
