Any Dr. Guillermo Alvarez patients here?

I am headed to Eagle Pass, TX in July and then on to see Dr. Alvarez in Mexico for my sleeve surgery!! I have researched several Dr's for over a year before making my decision to go with Dr. Alvarez, however he was my first choice!! Would love to hear from anyone that has been to the same Dr. I am looking to loose over 150 lbs! I'm 5' 8" tall and 340 lbs! I'm so ready to begin my wonderful new journey.

I will be there July and I'm very excited!! My mom keeps asking me if I'm worried or scared but I don't feel that way at all.. At first I thought I would because I'm going to Mexico but I have a very happy and excited feeling!! I'm so ready for July to get here!! Congrats and good luck to all of you!

You guys will be fine...its not a walk in the park but for a little discomfort at first you will have lasting benifits

Actually, I fly on the 11th and my surgery date is the 12th. Even though I hear and read nothing but terrific things about him, I'm sill nervous about the surgery.

You are going to do great!! It was such a positive experience. I loved him and his entire staff!!! Good luck and congratulations!! I'm excited for you!

I had my sleeve done on March 1st 2013. Love Dr Alvarez! His team is wonderful. You will be in great hands.

I was there on march 2, 2013. Maybe we passed each other walking the halls. How is it going? I have lost 43 lbs and I couldn't be more excited.
