"Dr. Alvarez is everything I had seen on youtube videos and all I was searching for in a surgeon! I had my surgery on April 9th, 2013. And everything went very smoothly. My incisions 5 of them are all really small and healing very well. I'm almost 10 weeks post op and have lost 43 pounds from my highest weight :) sooo very thankful I had Dr. A as a surgeon and friend

"Ok.. so this is how my consult went. I was so excited then it changed... first my consult appointment was about a total of 8 minutes long. He told me he doesn't preform the VSG unless you have a BMI of over 60 and that he views it as "new and contriversial". I had my food journal of the last 6 months with me... he told me "I must have lied!" because you can't eat that little and work out that much and not loose weight. He then proceeded to tell me that if i was to loose 24 pounds... which would be 10% that he would give me his RNY proceedure in 6 months time. No Thanks. My other friend that went to see him you wouldn't believe what he told her!!! Said she was fat cuz she went to too many potlucks!! Now... this is my personal experience.. I hope and pray that anyone else that is going to see him and actually likes this fellow will have a better experience. For me I have gone to a different surgeon."
