Surgeon Testimonial

Guillermo Alvarez M.D.
My first impression of Dr A was awesome. I have never met a doctor in the states that was that caring and concerned about your well-being. His staff was just as amazing as he was. They all explain everything in detail as to what is about to happen so your not left in the dark. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the future wanted to have WLS. It was definayely worth the trip to Mexico.

Well I made it through my surgery fine. The ONLY complaint I have is the gas and nausea, everything else ws great. Of course I had the best doc in the world. I was walking around about an hour and a half after my surgery Anyone that is considering WLS needs to just bite the bullet and do it!

My Story

Well, I have been overweight just about my entire life. I have been on every diet and every diet pill ever put out, but always ended with the same result: lose a few pounds and gain back a few more. I heard about endobariatrics from a friend that is also trying to have this done, I have fought with my insurance company for about 5 years trying to get approved for lapband ( I am a diabetic,  have high blood pressure, and sleep apnea)with no luck. Finally, through many tears and prayers, I am scheduled to have VGS on July the 11th. I have to be on a liquid diet until then but what a goal I have to look forward to. I have a wonderful 10 year old son and a loving and supporting husband that are my biggest motivators.
