I really have heard nothing but good things about him. I feel like I have met him from watching so many of his videos on YouTube. I am sure he is a great man and an even better surgeon. I am also impressed that he has great bedside manor as many surgeons do not seem to have that.

I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on 5/8/12. I choose Dr. Alvarez because he was the most qualified doctor. He has performed approximately 4500 VSG and knows what he is doing. He speaks English extremely well. He does cost a bit more but it's well worth it. I highly recommend him.

I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Alvarez three months ago and he is wonderful. Extremely skilled surgeon for this procedure! I was so cared for by his staff, they were wonderful. I know he is more expensive than other surgeons, but he is truly worth every penny that paid to him. I healed perfectly and had very little pain.

Hey all, I'm new to this site. I've been over weight since I was 15 I'm 24 now. I've tried multiple times to lose weight. Some of those times were a bit successful. But I only gained it back the moment I attempted to return to normal eating. Now I will say that my eating habits aren't the best at all, and no matter how much I try I just can't fight the hunger. In 2010 I lost 70 lbs on HCG. Was able to keep it off for about 6 months but as always the hunger comes and I gain the weight back. I'm about 10 pounds away from gaining back all the weight I lost.

A friend if mine is in the process of preparing for her surgery mid-jan. So I've been researching the VSG procedure. In order to give good support I felt I needed to know what was going on. In the mix of all that I've come to the conclusion that this might be something that I wanted for my self.

I was told to research Dr.Alvarez in Mexico. I've heard good things about him. But was wondering if someone had specific website info. So that I can look up his pricing and etc...

Congrats to all those who have lost successfully. And good luck to all those with up coming surgery dates.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
