The entire operation was $8700. But that includes the hospital stay and two nights in a hotel if needed. The biggest thing for me was being able to recover in a hospital and not a hotel or guest house. I'd be very weary of those kind of deals. Dr Alvarez is top notch and has performed over 2800 sleeves. If you have any questions please let me know.

But his credinatals state he's been doing the sleeve for 2 years. So I can;t see how thats possible. I asked because I live in San Antonio and that drive is not that bad. I was just there friday to be exact.

He's actually been doing it longer. The sleeve has been in the USA for 3 years and in other countries for 8 years. I actually know someone who had their sleeve done with him almost 6 years ago and is extremely been successful. I'm going to him June 11!!
