Since Dr. Alvarez focuses on just one type of weight loss surgery he has perfected his technique to world-class standards, which gives his patients results often not found with other surgeons.
Combine that with one of the lowest after-surgery complication rates, and it’s not hard to see why patients from all over the world are willing to travel a mile over the Texas border for the best gastric sleeve surgeon in the world.

“The professionalism of EVERYONE involved! From Rosie at the first contact to the driver at first pickup, to Dr. A and ALL of the Endobariatric Team! And a well-oiled team they are! I forget but it may have been Jessica at the hospital showing my wife extra attention even though I was the patient.”– Craig Carlyle
“I was impressed with all the doctor’s bedside manners. You don’t see that in America. Dr. A. even helped my mother with her luggage on discharge day and I was the patient. Never seen a doctor do that. Great staff and caring.”– Sharon Dunn
“The professionalism of everyone from the moment I contacted Rosy, all of the nurses, and of course you Dr. A. I am still in awe of the care I receive even 18 months later. You are there at the drop of a hat to answer my questions, share my success, and give encouragement when it is needed. Endobariatric was the best decision of my life.” – Brenda Wooley
“I remember standing in the hall when I first got there and was talking in Spanish to Dr. A’s father. He told me not to worry about anything that Dr. A. would take good care of me. I remember waking up to Dr. A sitting on the side of the bed holding my hand because I, apparently, was a “little” agitated…the staff was amazing…and Rosie was and still is amazing. Even 8 years out I have still been in contact with Susan and Dr. A. and they continue to offer their support and advice.”– Laurie Pringle
“The staff was very helpful and kind. I have been in the hospital many times and never had the care I had with the Endobariatric team. Simply amazing!” – Amanda Bushong

Type 2 diabetes is a serious diagnosis that often inspires patients to make significant changes to their lifestyle and diet. If you are struggling with obesity and diabetes, gastric sleeve surgery can be a beacon of hope. Still, you may be wondering whether it is safe for someone with Type...
The reasons behind the decision to undergo vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG or gastric sleeve) are as individual as the patients themselves. But it’s usually some combination of health and appearance (no judgment on the appearance part—we all deserve to look and feel our best!). For some women, however, the driving...
