"Hello everyone. My name is Jerry Muniz and I can't put into words how this surgery with Dr. Alvarez has changed my life. I know there are a lot of horror stories out there about how surgeries in Mexico turned out to be bad for them. I can assure you that this particular place with this particular surgeon will be well worth it and will put to rest what you may have heard in the past. The facilities and hotels that are provided to you are of the best quality. The technology far surpasses that of the U.S. It has been 1 month since my surgery and from the day I started my pre-op liquid diet I have lost a total of 45 pounds. This surgery will definitely change your life. Be sure of your decision and stick with it because once it's done it's done. I've been happy so far but I had to learn to eat all over again. Smaller bites, smaller portions, not drinking while eating, and eating slower. All these have always been a challenge for me because since my military service we were taught to hurry up and eat. Your stomach will tell you when you are eating too fast and believe me I've already experienced that. The weight will come off but you will eventually plateau if you do not set up an exercise routing. I have already eliminated several of my medications such as my insulin and Victoza. Yes I'm a type 2 diabetic and not having to take insulin shots is a blessing in it self.I'm still on my journey to losing more weight but I can only tell you what I've experienced so far. Having this surgery has been the best decision I have made for myself. My son helped me with the decision because he had been so worried for me about my health issues. I have many disabilities from serving in the Army for 13 years so my level of exercise has decreased over the years and I let my weight get out of control. I walk now and have more energy than I've had in years. If you decide to have this surgery it will definitely change your life. The horror stories you may have heard are stories from people who wanted to get this surgery at the cheapest rate possible. I did many hours of research and by accident stumbled across an AD online. All I saw was Endobariatric Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I have been researching doctors and locations for a couple of months before I decided to click on the link. I'm so glad that I did. I think it was fate and that GOD was answering my prayers. Dr. Alvarez is one the top 12 surgeons in the world who specialize in the sleeve surgery. In fact, this is the only surgery Dr. Alvarez does. He and his staff are the most professional and friendly people I have ever met and all of them speak great English. I hope my sharing this story will be the final push you needed to make your decision. Remember, this decision is yours to make because you will be the one experiencing the effects. The great effects of feeling better, losing the weight you felt was impossible, possibly eliminating medications you have taken for years, an abundance of energy, self-confidence booster, self-esteem booster, and finally that glow that has been missing for many years that people used to see on you. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DECISION AND THE NEW YOU!!!
