I am planning on having VSG with Dr. Alvarez. I have talked to a couple of his patients and got very good feedback. I just wanted to reach out to more of his patients on here to see what their experiences were like. Thanks so much.

Dr. Alvarez is GREAT!! He did my sleeve April 9th and I have no regrets. I would go back to him in a heartbeat. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Please feel free to PM me and I'd also be happy to chat with you on the phone. I love him and his staff and felt great about my experience. I went with by best friend and we had the procedure the same weekend (about 2 months ago). Good choice:)

VV2010

Yep- I went with VV2010 and we had a fantastic experience- Dr. Alvarez is a most excellent professional and his staff is terrific as well. I am THRILLED with my sleeve and had no issues with healing. Two months out, I'm leading a very normal life- working out and eating healthy- just smaller portions than my "old life"! Dr. Alvarez was wonderful- I definitely recommend!!

I had a good experience. I felt I was treated very well and enjoyed talking with the other 2 girls that were sleeved the same day as I was. No complications and I am doing well.

Jane, I checked out your link to the thread on leaks and infections. What I saw referred to a Dr. Almanza in Tiajuana I believe. I am planning on going to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. Do you have any info on him? Thanks.
