Recommended Posts

I am planning on having VSG with Dr. Alvarez. I have talked to a couple of his patients and got very good feedback. I just wanted to reach out to more of his patients on here to see what their experiences were like. Thanks so much.

Dr. Alvarez is GREAT!! He did my sleeve April 9th and I have no regrets. I would go back to him in a heartbeat. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Please feel free to PM me and I'd also be happy to chat with you on the phone. I love him and his staff and felt great about my experience. I went with by best friend and we had the procedure the same weekend (about 2 months ago). Good choice:)

Yep- I went with VV2010 and we had a fantastic experience- Dr. Alvarez is a most excellent professional and his staff is terrific as well. I am THRILLED with my sleeve and had no issues with healing. Two months out, I'm leading a very normal life- working out and eating healthy- just smaller portions than my "old life"! Dr. Alvarez was wonderful- I definitely recommend!!

I had a good experience. I felt I was treated very well and enjoyed talking with the other 2 girls that were sleeved the same day as I was. No complications and I am doing well.

Jane, I checked out your link to the thread on leaks and infections. What I saw referred to a Dr. Almanza in Tiajuana I believe. I am planning on going to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. Do you have any info on him? Thanks.

I am so sorry Soon I did not read it properly, why are all their names beginning with A, its so confusing for the hard of thinking :blushing: I just was scared for you after reading Stoongals terrible story.

I haven't heard anything shonky about this guy, or the Aceves chap.

VSG is brill and all the very best with it,

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
