Question:
Has any used Dr Alvarez recently? Was there any crime problems or worry?

Hello, I have been researching and found Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico. I have talked to several people begging not to go because of the crime and violent asks in border towns and in mexico in gernal. I was just wondering if there were any problems or threats while you were there and how safe the town was? Thanks    — Cfinch3911 (posted on March 5, 2009)

Courtney, Before going to mexico I would check out some of the deals Dr.Rutledge is offering in Las Vegas.Look up Mini Gastric Bypass on the internet. He has done almost 8000 procedures with very few complications. He has alot of hollywood stars and his prices are better than Mexico. I hope this helps.God Bless , 2Lazy2Mike

I just got back last Saturday, February 28 and there was absolutely NO CRIME at all. The day after surgery my sleeve sister and my best friend were walking outside the hospital to see the pyramid sculptures. Everyone in my family kept begging me to come home and I had no idea why. The area was very safe and I never even heard a police car much less any violence going on. Dr. Alvarez and his team are fantastic! You will be so happy you did this. If you ahve any further questions you can email me and I will be happy to talk to you. My testimonial is on Dr. Alvarez's page.

I am headed to see Dr. Alvarez in a month, have a look at the VSG forum....a lot of people just went and are back. Most of the crime is up near Tijuana, at least that is what is posted on the international news. I checked with the Canadian Colsulate, and Mexico representative, they have no warning for that area. Aanyway....check out the VSG page, there is plenty of answers waiting there for you, you just have to post the question. Good Luck.

Girl, you are in TN! Unless you are regularly in Del Rio or Eagle Pass,you need to find someone close to home. You need to check that the doctor you choose has good follow-up: check ups, nutrition counseling, and encourages exercise. I read a post recently of a lady from Florida who went to Mexico and she's not loosing and doesn't know why. This is an investment in your health. Get the best deal all around, not just the cheapest.

I had Dr A as my doctor and went to Mexico, it wasnt bad at all! I think he and his staff there were the greatest! NO REGRETS AT ALL We stayed in a very nice Hotel and Rosie drove us over the border. I say it was so worth it to me and I would do it again and again! Go for it!
