Topic: Band to Sleeve Revision with Dr. Alvarez at Endobariatric

I have been back from Mexico for 10 days now and doing great. No complications, pain, or nausea. I would highly recommend Dr. Alvarez and as a self-pay, the price was a lot less than I could find in the US and I think the care was even better. 

If anyone is looking for a Mexican doctor who does only sleeves or band to sleeve revisions, check him out at endobariatric.com. I'd be happy to talk about my personal experience too. 

Highest Wt: 274 / LAP-Band Low: 180 / Sleeved at 233 / Goal: 160!

Topic: Who is board certified n what does it mean if they are not?

Well I decided are my final three doctors. Lo and behold there we sites say they are board certified bariatric surgeons with thr photocopy to prove it. 

Now I go to two websites www.cmcoem.org.mx and www.amce.com.mx .... done of the chosen are on these sites.

Someone tell me what does that mean. Then these doctors list these other US associated credentials such as SAGE AND SURGEON OF EXCELLENCE. What does this all really mean

Thanks for the info.  Dr. Alvarez seems like a good Dr.  Can you tell me a little bit about your experience.  How much did you pay for your surgery?  Did you have the sleeve?

Thank you. Your comment comes across aggressive so let me respond.. I CAN say whatever I want because this is a public forum but yes, it may not be a true statement to everyone. You stated you never felt hunger but you can also count the times you have been Hungry. So my statement may still hold true ;) lol Again, my post is opinion based and meant to be helpful. I am just sharing my experience and what I have learned after surgery and what I have researched. Best of luck!! :) 

didn't you even read my post? I stated that the hungeri felt was most likely dehydration,not needing food. 

Certainly you CAN,as in ALLOWED,to say whatever you want on a public forum. 

Trying to speak for everyone in the world who has had,or will have a VSG makes you sound foolish. The word "will" is a definitive term it means that everyone will always no matter what be just exactly like that. 

I don't really think you CAN,with that degree of authority,say that,can you?
