Guillermo Alvarez

Anyone want to share their testimony? I'm pretty sure he's the only one I can afford but would love to hear from some of his patients.

Side note: he's terribly good looking!

Dr Alvarez is more expensive than most doctors in mexico.. he's also one of the very best. he has a youtube channel endobariatric.. hundreds of testimonies on youtube including other doctors who have traveled to mexico just to be sleeved by Alvarez.

I would maybe start a new post with the correct title. I am scheduled with Alvarez in 1/18/13. I feel very comfortable with my choice of doctors. I think it is really important for you to feel good about whoever you choose. Good luck to you.

Ahhhh almanza I'm not thrilled with the number of surgeries he does per day. Though, I haven't heard of that hindering him. I am more comfortable with the docs I have chosen even though they're less experienced. I'm booking though Mexicobariatric and they have several docs to choose from. I chose the team of Cabrera/Valenzuela though I felt I could have chosen any of them and I would not have been making a wrong choice.

I meant Dr Almanza. Read both good and bad things about him.

I have heard of him doing 6-8 surgeries a day. I've also heard he's done more than that, I don't know if the other numbers are true. I think that is a bit excessive and some have reported waiting all day for surgery because he had so many. I will say that one of my best friends went to Almanza. She will be a year out in Feb. she had no complications and looks great. She says the staff/doctor was great. She was about the third surgery for the day and hers went off without a hitch.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
