I guess it I am like many of the others. I was always "the fat girl". I was 100lbs by the time I was in the 3rd grade. However, I was a healthy kid. Wasn't very active, didn't have many friends, because I was often teased. I was stood up by a prom date, because him asking me was a joke, people wanted to see my reaction...

Dr. Alvarez is a wonderful surgeon and person. He and his team are very warm, personable, and accommodating. The whole trip was very fast and everything was taken care of. Everyone said how much they liked Dr. A, but you don't really know how great he is until you meet him...

I had spent months trying to get approved for lapband surgery. Within that time I began to have serious doubts about whether lapband was my best choice. Then someone mentioned vertical gastric sleeve. I did research and through my research I learned about Dr. Alvarez. So I called...

Like most people, I have been LARGE all of my life. I did not weigh or measure before the surgery, which I know wish I had done. I weighed approximately 475 lbs, wore 56/58 pants and 4X/5X shirts.I was diabetic and had extreme hypertension. I was taking 15 pills a day, and still had severe hypertension...

Dr. Alvarez has the best bedside manners I've ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable. He came to visit me several times each of the 2 days I was in the hospital.

My name is Susan. I was banded in May 2005 in Monterrey Mexico. I had high hopes that the band would take care of my obesity issues once and for all. In January of 2006, I began to have some issues with my port and ultimately it was deemed I had an infection. I had only managed to lose 35 pounds with the band.... In September of 2006, I had the VSG surgery performed with Dr. Alvarez...

Hi I'm Janelle Parker and I was sleeved on April 1st 2008. I have to start off this testimonial by saying that you (Dr. Alvarez) have saved my life and I LOVE being sleeved! Its been such a joy and the easiest thing that I have ever done. I started off at 256 lbs the day of my sleeve and today I weigh 161---95 lbs lost in 8 months and 2 lbs away from a NORMAL BMI! I feel like a new woman!.
 

Zina. Texas
It's been one year since my surgery in November of 2007 and I've had what I consider to be incredible success. I never thought I would surpass my goal before the one year mark.  I've attached a picture taken on vacation with my husband 2 days before my surgery in November 2007 and a picture taken 1 year post op in November 2008. I started at 220 and a size 20, but now I'm in a size 6 around 145lbs. I never thought I'd see a 6 without a 1 in front of it. :-)  I've gone from a size 8 ring finger to a size 5 ring finger, and from a 2x shirt to a regular size medium, and from a huge bra size of 42F to a 34 DD. Life is good! This surgery changed my outlook on life, my self worth, my social status, activity level, just about everything. Thank you so much.

Kelly Smith. Portland, Oregon

Judy Hills. Eagle, Idaho
For me it isn't how much weight I have lost, but the changes in my health and spirits. I have lost 80+ pounds and I still have 60+ more to go. I was on 150 units of insulin every night and that was not keeping my blood sugar under control.

Dennis smith. United Kingdom
Let me tell you my story, 56 years old and a semi-retired contractor really not doing too well in the physical or mental stakes. At 320 pounds with ankle, knee and hip problems, chronic low back pain, high blood pressure, borderline diabetic all coupled to the propensities of old age and a touch of self pity style depression.
