Dr Alvarez and his whole team are everything and more that
everyone says he is. Kindness radiates from his smile.
There is kindness in the simplest touch. His team is professional,
compassionate and very kind...

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...

Hi...My name is Sherri. I have been overweight the majority
of my life. In the past 8 years though the weight really
climbed up until I reached 300lbs and am only...
just barely 5 feet tall. I did not have much of a life
at that weight and would cry daily because of the pain
in my body...

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. He shows
genuine concern for his patients. As for his surgical
competence, the man is just awesome. My 5 incisions are
very small and neat...

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!. |

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.

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.

This is all so exciting! It has only been three short
months and I have gone from a size 20 to a size 12. This
is not something I could have accomplished on my own.
Even if I had lost the weight, I never could have been
able to keep it off.
Thanks to Tommy, my best friend and soul mate for providing
the resources for me to have the surgery and thanks to
you, my amazing surgeon for doing a great job for me.
It is because of your incredible competence, I now have
an excellent tool to help me achieve a greater quality
of life. |

I have researched long and hard to find the right one.
I have never heard anything bad about Dr. A. My Gyn Dr.
had even heard of him with nothing negative to say. only
good. Susan has been very easy to reach. Always very
pleasant talk to. she has been such a wonderful resource.
The process has been very easy as well. I've been very
pleased so far. First impression of Dr. A?.....smells
great :) ...

So many times we feel we are so alone, and have questions
or concerns that seem to make our own situation so isolated,
but no matter if you are 20 lbs over weight or
400 lbs over weight, we are no different in our thinking
but all have the same fears. Upon a return visit to Mexico,
with a family member who also had the sleeve procedure
done, I was videoed by Dr. Alverez, and during the video,
because of nervousness I didn't mention to Dr Alvarez,
I needed to add some of the factors that I personally
felt were as important to consider as the surgery itself...
