My surgeon hasn't even submitted my paperwork to the insurer yet because I have one more visit to go. But, just in case, I'm already thinking of Plan B 'cause a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do!

Can anyone who has used Dr. Alvarez in Mexico give me their experience with his office? Thanks for any information you can provide!!

I haven't been sleeved yet but I already know I've made the perfect choice. Meeting him in person did not surprise me one bit. I agree about him being passionate and loving what he does.

I received a call today from one of Dr. Alvarez's patients from my area. She was great! She, her husband, and her son had all had the sugery with Dr. Alvarez. She gave him glowing reviews! I just appreciate his coordinator for taking the time to find someone right down the road from me that's been there. I have to say that I'm thinking that I might just go with him, even if my insurance pays and that says a lot!

I'm telling you, he is really amazing! If you have that feeling then go with him because that seems like the feeling that I had

Dr. Alvarez contacted me on FaceTime today and we had a great discussion. He's a very nice man. My last visit to my local surgeon is this Wed. Then I guess the paperwork will be submitted to the insurance company. At least, if I'm not approved, I know that have another great option. I wish I had known about MX before I started this long process.

He always takes time out and is there for you. I talked to him yesterday and is always helpful.

I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on June 1st. He is a GREAT doctor and I am very happy with my decision to use him. I recommend him highly!

Wow SD45! That's really good to know! What's your weightloss been like? Did you have any problems post surgery? I've sent my deposit to hold my date, so I guess that means I'm in!!

I've lost 25 pounds since the beginning of pre-op diet (14 days presurgery) I chose to do 14 days instead of 10 days because I quit smoking too and just did it all at same time. I've been sleeved a week so part of the loss has come after the sleeve I guess... Anticipating more and more of course! You will love Dr. Alvarez... such a great guy. You'll also love Jessica and Jesus... they'll be tending to you day and night in the hospital. It's great!!! Good luck to ya!

30 more days to Dr. Alvarez, I really can't wait no longer! Lol. He's such a great person who loves what he does and us so passionate about helping us.

Dr. Alvarez is AMAZING!! I had surgery 2 years ago TOMORROW!...and I am down 200 pounds!! Highest weight was 350, currently holding 150 give or take a few pounds. I was nervous at first, but once I met him and the staff I knew it was the best choice! I had paid for the surgery myself (i had no insurance).

My entire experience was AMAZING!!...I can HONESTLY say that I had the best care at his facility that I have ever had in my life. I was 18 years old when I had surgery. For me, my recovery went very easy..little to no pain at all, followed my diet instructions, exercised..and weight just started coming off. I know everyone is different I am just telling how it worked for me

Susan his patient coordinator is awesome, she helps with anything and gets back to me almost instantly! Even post-op I still talk to them!

He is truly an incredible doctor with a huge heart

He is amazing! Glad u had a great experience.

I'm scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. Alverez on 6/30/12, I'm nervous but more excited about becoming the new improved smaller me! I'll keep you posted on my progress.
