Surgeon Testimonial

Guillermo Alvarez M.D.
Dr. Alvarez has the best bedside manners I've ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable. He came to visit me several times each of the 2 days I was in the hospital. He shows genuine concern for his patients. As for his surgical competence, the man is just awesome. My 5 incisions are very small and neat. I have had no pain from them at all. I was up and walking the day after surgery with no problems. I'm 5 days post op and I have resumed to my normal activities. I would rate Dr. Alvarez a 20 out of 10. He has exceeded my expectations of him. I would recommended him to anyone having any weight loss procedure, especially the VSG. He has performed hundreds of VSGs with no mortalities or leaks. He's one of the best VSG surgeons in the nation.

6 Weeks Post Op
I'm officially 6 weeks post op. So far I have lost 36lbs post-op and 10lbs pre-op. I feel better than I've felt in years. I have a new look and a new attitude. I chopped all my hair off. I still can't believe I did that. I have not one regret about having my VSG. It was the best $10K I've ever spent. I eat whatever I want. I just can't eat much of it. When I eat too fast or when I eat chicken most of the times, it feels like I have a rod in my chest. Not a good feeling at all. Other than that, everything is great. I'm trying to meet my mini goal of 50lbs down post-op within the next 3 weeks. Wish me luck!
