Dr. A has forever changed my life as well as my family's. I had PCOS which prevented me from losing weight no matter what I did. This led me to seeking out surgery options as per my OBGYN's advice. Long story short, I was the 18th person from our little town of 25,000 people to have the gastric sleeve done by Dr. A. There have since been 3 others from my town to have the same surgery with Dr. A.
I have to admit I was a little worried about traveling to another country to have surgery. So was my husband. After arriving and meeting Dr. A for the first time, I KNEW I had made the RIGHT decision! Dr. A answered every question and was more open and honest than any doctor in the States. Dr. A and his whole staff was nothing but wonderful!! His bedside manor was second to none.
I've had NO issues with post surgery and my scars are healing very well. I still have to watch the amount that I eat, but that will be a forever thing.
If you are considering ANY type of weight loss surgery, PLEASE check out Dr. Alvarez!! You CAN NOT go wrong!!
