    Vertical Sleeve Surgery in Mexico with Dr. Alvarez

    I do one thing very well. I do gastric sleeves. That’s it. Nothing else. No distractions. Nothing to steal my focus. I’m not kidding myself that I can be good at everything, so I don’t try to conquer the whole world. I just conquer my bit of it. So each day I come in and craft the best sleeves, and use the best quality in surgical materials available worldwide. I craft the stomach with an expert eye. And then, ‘The A-Team’ and I, take care of the rest. -Dr. Alvarez

    Dr. Alvarez is passionate about helping each of his patients attain better health and reach their long-term weight loss goals. He specializes in performing the Gastric Sleeve (VSG) procedure and has performed more than 20,000+ sleeve surgeries and focuses solely on this procedure. If you’ve previously undergone Lap-Band surgery and are struggling with weight regain or surgical complications, Dr. Alvarez performs band removals and revisions to Gastric Sleeve.
