Guillermo Alvarez Bariatric Surgeon MD

Hello all,
My name is Angelica, I am 24 years old. When I had my surgery at 23 I was morbidly obese. I kept having one miscarriage after another which was making me gain more weight. Finally, I sat down with my mom who had VGS in Mexico with doctor Alverez in March of 2017. I saw what the surgery did not only for her but for my dad. Sometimes it takes more than just diet and exercise like the stigma goes. Doctor A and his team are beyond amazing. They treat you like family and make sure you have all the resources for the tool to work for you. I just had my surgery on 09/18/2020 starting at 305lbs I’m now 224lbs 75lbs down. I’m so happy with the decision I made. Let him and his team help you, you won’t regret it:) best of luck!

Best decision ever! Dr A and his team were amazing! The facility was emaculent! 1 month post op I had a question and was called by Dr A personally, the same night to give me guidance! Highly recommended!!

I have never in my life met a doctor who is as impressive as Dr. Alvarez. He is extremely personable, caring, knowledgeable beyond comprehension and will never leave you hanging or wondering. He follows up with your every question or concern. Honestly, I wish we could clone him and send his protege all over the world! In saying all of this....he is also humble. Nothing arrogant about this doctor and he will never make you feel that he is unapproachable! I have told him that because of his extraordinary gifts, he must be able to attribute a lot of it to his raising (parents) and to God.

My experience with this doctor was and is beyond anything I could ever imagine. I feel so blessed to have stumbled across Dr. A. His staff is also amazing. They support each other and the entire team is a fine tuned machine!

I could rattle on and on.
Nothing remotely negative to say!!!!

Be blessed! ????

I loved my experience with dr. A, He was so sweet, there were 3 of us going in for the surgery and they had us picked up at the hotel in San Antonio Texas, and he brought us over the boarder to the Endobariatric hospital, which by the way was beautiful, the coordinator Rosie spoke to us and had someone get us settled in our rooms, oh there’s a hotel in the hospital, unbelievable, anyway after we were settled a nurse came with a special menu so we could eat, it was amazing, because I hadn’t eaten solid food in 3 weeks, then Dr. A came that evening ( that’s when we all met officially)anyway he sat and explained the procedure to us and answered all questions we had, then we all went to our rooms to rest, every person there from dr. A to the nurses and even people that clean the hospital were all so attentive to our needs, hands down, best hospital experience ever, and I’m 60 years old, I’ve been in hospitals many times over the years. Dr.A did our surgery and had us all walking within an hour after surgery, I have been talking about my experience and recommending him to all the people on my Facebook support group, I even made a believer out of my home doctor, when I left she was telling me how much she disapproved of my going there and I said well I’m going anyway, then when I got back and was down 25 pounds and she took me off all of my meds and I took 3 different meds for diabetes plus 2 different shots too, plus cholesterol, hypertension, and a few other things, anyway I am over the moon that I can walk more than a block without having to stop a couple times too, I even made it almost to the top of a mountain trail and back down in Colorado, my doctor was so happy with my visit that she wanted his information for other patients that can’t afford it out here in Florida but I had cards and happily gave her one, anyway that’s it, I loved my experience and I recommend Dr. A to all I speak to on Facebook support group, there’s a lot of people out there that are afraid of that first step and I want to help with my voice, so I do almost every day ????

My sister and I had the VSG together 5 weeks ago today. I have since lost 17.7 lbs and I continue to go down.. I would recommend Dr A to anyone who is considering the procedure . The whole experience was amazing. The facility and staff are top of the line, and they took better care of us than we could have ever expected...

I am writing this review to encourage anyone considering bariatric surgery to trust Dr. Alvarez and his team at the Endobariatric Hospital. I am beyond grateful for the quality of life Dr. A and his team have given back to me. I had my surgery on August 3, 2020 amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic, and couldn’t be happier that I did. With some additional precautions while travelling, my trip was made seamless and I was immediately comforted by the warmth and knowledge of Dr. Alvarez upon arriving at the Endo hospital. The facilities are beautiful and utterly spotless, making the surgery feel more like a vacation than a procedure. Every employee and team member I came in contact with was lovely and made my recovery time enjoyable. Thus far in my post op (3 1/2 months out) I am 62 pounds down, more mobile and more confident than ever. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to proceed with the vertical sleeve gastrectomy or putting my faith in Dr. A. I am so happy with my experience and results, that I would encourage anyone - strangers, family or friends, to seek out Dr. Alvarez. I am a patient who travelled from Canada and would still prefer the treatment (and price) I received from Dr. A over what seemingly little, and expensive options I had in my city. I feel lucky to have found this master bariatric surgeon.

Dr. A saved my life! When I made the decision to have gastric sleeve I weighed 435 pounds! Thanks to Dr. Alvarez I am down to 291 pounds! I'm 61 pounds away from my goal but with this tool I will get there! Dr. A and his staff were amazing and attentive and actually care about their patients. They all speak English and the new state of the art hospital is the cleanest I've ever seen! If you are on the fence about surgery, just do it and choose Dr. Alvarez and Endobariatric!

Dr A changed my life! Best decision ever!! I could not have asked for a better experience. I can not give Dr A and his team as many stars here as they deserve. Who knew you could ask questions and get answers so quickly anytime day or night. He is the best ??????

I had surgery July 7, 2020 and in 2 days it will be exactly 3 months since surgery! I have gotten my life back! My husband says that I am a brand new woman! I turned 40 this year and have a 6 year old son. I had no energy to keep up with him! We would do a lot of movie watching because mom was always tired!
I heard about Dr. Alvarez from a coworker that had surgery with him. As soon as I told my family about a surgeon in Mexico, you can guess how the questions started rolling! You can feel VERY safe going down there to have surgery with Dr. A. The hospital is like a resort! He is such an intelligent man how he has the van escort you across the border. He has his scheduling and staff very well organized! You will not have to worry about a thing. It is so fun to take a "companion" with you! You get to be with your spouse or friend (who ever you take) the whole time. Dr. A meets you the night before you surgery and genuinely cares to get to know you! He comes in before surgery to speak to you one last time before the life-changing surgery. It is so easy! I was up and walking just an hour or so after surgery! The staff was so great to get me anything I needed the day of surgery. I love being part of his patients' facebook page! There we are all a community of "Sleeve Siblings" where you can ask honest questions and get honest answers!
You will not regret choosing Dr. A in Piedras Negras, Mexico! I cannot wait to go back down there to visit!

I was nervous to have this surgery and then going to Mexico for it! Let me tell you that this was the BEST decision I have ever made. From the moment I was picked up to go to the Endohospital until today, I felt safe and cared for. Everyone at there was so awesome and really caring ?.
Dr. Alvarez is so calming to be around. He explains everything and is available to you the entire stay. I feel like we're friends now. I can always email him or call him with any questions or concerns. I will 100% recommend Dr. Alvarez the Endohospital and all the STAFF.
