Endohospital Bariatric Center

Best Dr ever he is as profesional as can be as explaining the procedure but also as humble as like putting your luggage in your vehicle. His hospital is top of the line you won’t even realize you are in a hospital it feels more like a retreat staff all speak English and are the best I was one of those person that thought what about if something happens to me since I’m doing my surgery in Piedras Negras but once there everything was just so amazing as far as the treatment the hospital the staff I couldn’t be happier for the experience I had. Surgery went great and recovery was even better no pain after surgery was walking the next day as nothing.

The Endohospital is more like a resort than a hospital. With Dr. A only performing up to 4 surgeries a day, you become close to the other patients and their families. The staff goes above and beyond to treat you like family. They do anything to help you and your companion to feel safe and comfortable. The day I left the hospital Dr A himself carried my and my mom’s luggage to the van!! I would recommend Dr A to anyone who is ready to change their lives!

From the time you step foot in the hospital, you feel like family. The Endohospital is top-notch-- the staff is great-- and Dr. A is amazing! The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner... 3 months later I'm down over 40 pounds and feel awesome! Thank you Dr.A and staff-- yall are the BEST!!

I’m officially a week out from surgery and wanted to share my experience with Dr. Alvarez at Endobariatrics. I’ll preface by saying that a month before my surgery, my husband had gastric sleeve done at another facility in Mexico. I was not happy with the experience and knew that there had to be better options out there. My journey was so much better and I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to place their trust in Endobariatrics. The facility is gorgeous and spotless, but the staff are the true gems. I am not exaggerating when I say that every need was considered before I even had to ask for anything. Every detail has been thought of ahead of time. Being at Endohospital felt like it was designed just for me and like I was the only patient. When I pressed the call button, someone was there within 30 seconds. I had the same couple of nurses the whole time and they are so sweet and gentle. Everyone spoke English and I never felt confused about the process or in the dark about what happens next (the exact opposite of my husbands experience).
When I woke from surgery I was really surprised that I had none of the dreaded gas pain that everyone talks about. I would rate my overall pain a 3 out of 10 for the first couple days. Another surprise is that I have no drinking restrictions. I was able to immediately drink my 64oz each day without a problem and never had nausea. My recovery has been much easier than my husbands and I attribute that to the methods Dr. A uses. As a business owner I can see and appreciate all the time, effort and expense that Dr. A has put into this practice. I am so grateful that I had this opportunity. Thank you Endobariatric Team and Dr. Alvarez!

It is hard to believe that in a few days I will reach 5 months post op. What’s more difficult to grasp is that I am 15 pounds away from my goal of 140 pounds! What? I embrace the tool Dr A gave me every day. I work on the mental stuff too every day. I know some day I will reach that goal and maybe even exceed it. Either way, I am a completely healthier me! For that reason alone, I am utterly and completely happy! Thank you Dr A and thank you Endo team!

After many Years of frustration of trying my Best to loose weight on my own I am Greatful God has led me to Doctor Alvarez & His team to shape in me a tool (sleeve stomace) to help assist & Guide me in my weightloss journey. I'll admit before the Surgery I was kinda scared because I do Not know spanish but Dr. A's team knew both spanish & English & that calmed me. My experience at the Endohospital was very Good because everyone was friendly & made me feel welcomed,
& comfortable, & everything was so clean. Doctor G. Alvarez Doesn't Stop after the Surgery is done, I had questions when I went home after Surgery & Dr. A answered all my emails back. Thank You Doctor Guillermo Alvarez I am able to continue in my weightloss journey with determination in winning this Battle, sence the Surgery I been able to sleep at Night & able to feel little things here & there changing in my life (both in my physical & emotional Health) this was one of the Best Decision I've made in my life for my Health! (I'm excited to compare my before, during & after Pictures thought out my journey).

I can not begin to tell you how wonderful Dr. Alverez and his team are. Everyone there went above and beyond what I thought was possible. My mom thought I was crazy for going to Mexico to have surgery, so she went with me. She is now one of Dr. Alverez’s biggest fans, she tells anyone who will listen how fantastic he and his team are! I am down 50 lbs and counting I have a whole new lease on life and feel better than I have in years! Thank you and your team for everything! Please don’t hesitate for a second to use Dr. Alverez and his team to start your new life!

The best hospital and doctor. Highly professional. Very caring even after the surgery. Would do it all over again. The best doctor ever!!!

I’m 5’9”, 51 yrs old, and got up to 270 lbs. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetic. (All of these are weight / obesity-related) Ridiculous! I don't want to spend this entire review telling all the reasons to do it, I want to tell you why I chose Dr. Alvarez and his amazing staff at Endobariatric (Endobariatric.com)! I heard about Dr. A through a colleague who had the VSG done by Dr. A and raved about what a fantastic experience he had at Endobariatric. I researched this whole thing for about a solid month before I chose Dr. Alvarez. I read all the info and watch all the videos. I even attended a "free seminar" at another bariatric clinic here in TX. I could not find one single bad review on Endobariatric and Dr. A's team. The info on Endobariatric.com was very transparent and informative as to why Dr. Alvarez only does one type of Bariatric surgery (VSG), and the history behind it, and all the other versions of bariatric procedures (gastric by-pass, duodenum switch, lap band, etc.). My insurance does not cover any bariatric procedures of any kind. Based on my friend's experience and recommendation, I inquired at Endobariatric.com. I immediately got a response from Brandi Carter ([email protected]), who is not only an awesome coordinator, but she also a former patient of Dr. A, and is an awesome mentor and resource. I got a total, turn-key, "cash price" immediately from Brandi. The communication from start to finish was seamless. During my preliminary research (looking for a Dr.), I got a "cash-price" quote from another bariatric clinic in Texas and the cost (without insurance coverage) was about 3X higher! And, they WOULD NOT GIVE A TOTAL, FINAL PRICE. The price I was quoted by Endobariatric never changed from start to finish. No surprises, no extra invoices from other Drs, no unexpected expenses !, It was exactly what Brandi quoted. My wife, Julie, accompanied me and was very concerned about, not only traveling into Mexico but also, our safety during our stay. Now, she is Dr. A's biggest fan! She tells people, "Don’t sweat the Mexico thing! The Endobariatric facility is as nice as any resort and they treat you like royalty!" The hotel is on the top floor of the hospital, so you never even have to leave the property once your there (if you do not want to). However, our Concierge, Roman, shuttled my wife and me (and the rest of my sleeve sibling group) anywhere we wanted to go, and we never felt "unsafe" while we were out and about in the quaint little town of Piedras Negras. The day after my surgery, I felt awesome and was ready for a frozen margarita (virgin, of course for me, the good kind for Julie !) from El Senator! Then, we were off to the EndoSpa for some pampering! It was the safest, most professional first-class thing I’ve ever experienced. In closing, I haven’t met not one person yet that regrets doing the procedure or having it done by Dr. A! I’ve done every diet on earth. I could always lose 20-30Lbs every time. But as soon as I resume my “regular lifestyle” I gain it right back. Skinny people all say, “oh, you just have to change your Lifestyle, or change your habits”. Well heck !, If I could do that, I would have already done it! I wanted something permanent, that wouldn’t give up on me whenever I do. Honestly, before my friend highly recommended Dr. A, and had already done it with amazing results, I would have never dreamed of having this, or any surgery, done in Mexico. My experience at Endobariatric and with Dr. Alvarez has totally changed my perspective of "out-of-pocket" procedures here in the states and apprehensions of having them done elsewhere. The more you research Dr. A, the more times you will see this statement: "Dr. A saved my life!" He did mine! Dr. A is the best in the world at this! Listen to him and follow his pre-op and post-op recommendations, and get ready to have a new lease on life! I am 3.5 months post-op, down 63 lbs, (CW 207) and already off Cholesterol meds (the others are next !)

One of the best decisions I’ve made! Dr. Alvarez and his team were fantastic. My entire family thought I was crazy for even considering surgery, let alone traveling over 2,000 miles from home and out of the country to have it done. I was scared. But I didn’t have to be. Everything with Dr. Alvarez from start to finish exceeded expectations. If you have any hesitation, don’t, you’ll be in excellent hands.
