I went to Dr Alvarez's seminar in San Antonio last Saturday, and I have to say I was very impressed. He went in depth about every aspect and I feel very confident about him. I had a very long list of detailed questions that I gathered from the sticky Researching Mexican Doctors ( thanks to WasaBubbleButt). I keep him there and extra 45 minutes with my questions all of which he answered in great detail. There were people that had been banded and sleeved and If the hadn't had the before pictures I would never have believed they had ever been overweight. All in all it was a great experience and look forward tho having my surgery done in the very near future.

i just had my surgery done (3/27/08) by Dr. Alvarez. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him!!! If you choose him you will not be disappointed. good luck...

Hi, is this the Dr. Alvares in Phoenix? Just wondering. Thanks.

No, this is Dr Guillermo Alvarez from Piedras Negras, Mexico

Hello, I will be banded by Dr. Alvarez on May 9. So, everything was good there? I've done quite a bit of checking but it still feels good to hear something positive.

Everything went very well...the room was newly remodled and very nice. The hospital is older but i was very confident with Dr. A. so i didn't let that scare me. Good luck. if you have any questions let me know:smile2:

Hi, I was just banded by Dr. Alvarez on March 25th and I have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable, did not rush me out of the office before the surgery, showed me around the hospital, took time to answer all questions-I mean the man acted like he cared about me! He came to see me 2 or 3 times after the surgery and again the next day before I was released. His staff was also very friendly and made sure I was comfortable with everything. Also, his staff has been in touch with me since the surgery. I have complete confidence in this crew and would highly recommend them to anyone.
