I really have heard nothing but good things about him. I feel like I have met him from watching so many of his videos on YouTube. I am sure he is a great man and an even better surgeon. I am also impressed that he has great bedside manor as many surgeons do not seem to have that.

I was sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on 5/8/12. I choose Dr. Alvarez because he was the most qualified doctor. He has performed approximately 4500 VSG and knows what he is doing. He speaks English extremely well. He does cost a bit more but it's well worth it. I highly recommend him.

I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Alvarez three months ago and he is wonderful. Extremely skilled surgeon for this procedure! I was so cared for by his staff, they were wonderful. I know he is more expensive than other surgeons, but he is truly worth every penny that paid to him. I healed perfectly and had very little pain.

Hey all, I'm new to this site. I've been over weight since I was 15 I'm 24 now. I've tried multiple times to lose weight. Some of those times were a bit successful. But I only gained it back the moment I attempted to return to normal eating. Now I will say that my eating habits aren't the best at all, and no matter how much I try I just can't fight the hunger. In 2010 I lost 70 lbs on HCG. Was able to keep it off for about 6 months but as always the hunger comes and I gain the weight back. I'm about 10 pounds away from gaining back all the weight I lost.

A friend if mine is in the process of preparing for her surgery mid-jan. So I've been researching the VSG procedure. In order to give good support I felt I needed to know what was going on. In the mix of all that I've come to the conclusion that this might be something that I wanted for my self.

I was told to research Dr.Alvarez in Mexico. I've heard good things about him. But was wondering if someone had specific website info. So that I can look up his pricing and etc...

Congrats to all those who have lost successfully. And good luck to all those with up coming surgery dates.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
