Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Alvarez?

[kitcatsheart 0]

I'm currently looking into surgery with Dr. Alvarez instead of Dr. Kelly

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with him?

He's more expensive but I like that he has state of the art equipment such as the stapling tool

and I like that the sleeve is the only procedure he does

I also like his surgery time

Just looking for some insight from people who have been there before me

Thank you in advanced

@@kitcatsheart I didn't but I absolutely love his videos on youtube. Sorry I couldn't be of any help otherwise. ^^

I havent, but he's #1 on my list - he costs more so I'm going to have to save up $ longer which kinda sucks.

I had my vsg surgery with Dr. Guillermo Alverez this past April. Just hit my 6 months post op. I can't say enough about Dr. Alverez and his team. I will say that the surgery was the easy part for me, it has been the post op life that has been a struggle, especially with expectations. I had no issues and after the first 2 days, I didn't feel like I had surgery of any kind. I was up walking all over the neighborhood and then all over the Alamo/San Antonio area. Everything went exactly as I was told, no surprises.

I still wouldn't change my decision.

If you have any questions feel free to post or send a message.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I would love Dr. A to be my surgeon. Do they offer any financing? I am waiting to hear back from Susan.
