I have surgery scheduled for sept 26 with Dr Guillermo Alvarez. I am looking for any input from people who have been there for this procedure as well as anyone who is scheduled around my date!!!! I need a support group. My husband is the only person who I have talked to about this. He is very supportive but I would like to expand my support group with people who have been in my shoe or are currently there!!

Hi! I am having my sleeve done by Dr. Alvarez the very next day, September 27th! I am so glad to connect with someone else who will be down there at about the same time. My husband will be coming with me. I have told only my sister and one or two close friends that I am having this procedure, and all have been supportive. Dr. Alvarez's reviews are very good, and I feel confident that this will be a good journey.

Good luck guys! Dr. a is the best. I had my surgery Sept 27, 2013 I'm done 167 pounds. Wow what a difference a year can make.

Congratulations, sbarbiegirl! And thanks for the encouragement. I'm having a few last-minute jitters, but hanging in there for Saturday!

Hi I am thinking on doing the sleeve but I am gathering more info. Could you tell me how much is for the sleeve with dr. Alvarez? is he the surgeon in powders negras Mexico? I have heard good things about him.

Hi!

I officially paid my deposit with Dr. Alvarez on Saturday! SO excited! At $8500, he's definitely not the cheapest, but the comfort I feel with him is PRICELESS.

He is in Piedras Negras...from what I hear, about 2 miles over the border.

Congratulations!!! So the price is 8500 total or is it just the deposit? Do you already have a date?

Im scheduled for May 23 with Dr. Alvarez and am very happy with the decision of choosing him. Have researched all and have found cheaper, but Im willing to pay extra for peace of mind. I love his youtube videos, every question answered with them. Im so ready for may to get here! Good luck to all!
