Are there any gastric sleever's who went with Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico? If so how was it? I know he is much higher but he does sew over the staples to make sure it doesn't leak. Thanks :)

I was scheduled sept 25 and back out because of nerves. The lady who was having surgery the same day as I was suppose to went through with her surgery. She said she couldn't be happier!! I can not wait!!

I know how you feel. Im kind of scared but I know if I don't get it done I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Plus Dr Alvarez is an excellent surgeon from all of the good reviews I've seen. :) I'll be going alone because my husband says I shouldn't do it.

My husband is very jealous and thinks I'm going to leave him for another man once I lose the weight. Why he so insecure? I don't even know! Makes me feel like he would rather me stay looking bad so no one else would want me. Crazy ! Let me live and be happy with myself. I'm doing this for me. Not no one else. :)

I went to him and had my lapband removed. Waiting for recovery and I plan to go in Feb. for my sleeve. I met up with two ladies who got the sleeve they are doing fantastic. I can honestly tell you that the care couldn't be better! From Susan to Rosie the driver they are all top notch. The dr is wonderful he didn't want to do the sleeve until I healed from the lapband removal. He wants the BEST for us! You won't be disappointed at all. Any questions he emails you back or calls. Check him out on YouTube. Best care I've ever had.

I am 22 months out from VSG with Dr. Alvarez. Feel free to PM me with any questions you have. He. is. the. BEST! 

 

I do believe he oversews, but I can't really remember. I have lost 86 lbs since surgery, 104 since the start of my journey. I find that losses with Dr A's sleeves are steady. Not necessarily rapid fast but I am nearly 2 years out and with proper eating an exercise STILL LOSINGlbs and inches. 

 

Dr is on Facebook and he has a private group where he and his Patient Coordinator are available to answer questions as well as his patients. Search for Endobariatric.com in GROUPS.

This common. I would recommend some marriage counseling before you leave... WLS will not kill a happy marriage but the amount of changes you'll go through post op will illuminate and exacerbate ANY cracks in your relationship. There is a reason the divorce rate amongst WLSers is high. Hubs needs to get his head right before you start on this journey, you need his support and he needs to be a part of this journey@

Dr A just published two books. One is the Second Edition of his first Book, Successful Weight Loss with the Gastric Sleeve. The other is  34 Sleeve Patient Stories: The real truth about Gastric Sleeve surgery in Mexico. More info on the Endobariatric website HERE.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
