Guillermo Alvarez Bariatric Surgeon MD

I did lots of research when looking for a provider to do my gastric sleeve. Dr. Guillermo Alvarez with Endobariatric is who I chose and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and professional, from the drivers, to the nurses, and of course Dr. Alvarez. Everyone immediately makes you feel comfortable and like family. Once I flew into San Antonio, everything was covered. Transportation to and from the hospital, the labs and tests, overnight stays, medications, the procedure, and more things that I can’t begin to list.

I was given ample information on the procedure, how to prepare, and sent follow up emails which told about the different foods that I could transition to. My favorite part was the picture of the portion of my stomach that was removed. Not many doctors send this so it was really cool to see. Dr. Alvarez also offered the mini sleeve which is the same procedure but uses smaller instruments for smaller scars. I elected to do this one and have no regrets. You can find cheaper surgeons, but you can’t find better. Dr. A has a true passion for VSG and it shows in his work and attitude.

I am doing great! I have not regretted doing this even for one minute. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life considering that I’m only 5 foot tall. And to find out how large my stomach was explains it all. The first week on clear liquids at eating out was difficult, but as soon as I got on full liquids I was very satisfied. I have already lost 31lbs and I’m well on my way to being the slim person I’ve struggled to be since I had my 3rd child in 1990! I’ve gone from 178 to 147 approximately. My whole attitude has changed. I realize that I have been mutedly depressed for a long time. I had stopped caring about my looks, what I wear and basically stopped trying all the while still trying to eat healthy. I basically was already on the high protein low carb diet, but it was the amount I was eating that prevented me from ever losing and keeping it off. Long story short, I’m a happy person again and Dr Alverez has changed my life.

I also referred my son because he’s short as well and has been just like me, depressed and health starting to fail. He’s just like me personality-wise, but he’s just in his early 30’s. This will help his confidence and turn his health around. I’m so happy he’s decided to do it and I’ll be the one paying for it. I’m that convinced that this is the best thing for him to do. I have a daughter as well that once my so. has it done, I will ask her if she would like to do it as well. I’ll be glad to pay for her also. I worry about her eating habits, which is high carb and diabetes runs in the family. I’ll send some after pictures once I hit my 120 lb goal. I can’t thank Dr Alverez enough for what he has done for so many people, me included. God bless and keep you!

Dr.Alvarez and his staff are true professionals, from the moment you inquire to after surgery, they are knowledgeable and respectful. The Endo facility Is top of the line! I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Alvarez. Truly life changing .

Dr. Alvarez is a great Bariatric surgeon. I had a great experience with him being my Bariatric surgeon. Dr. A. and all his staff are all very professional and always treated me great and always available when I needed something. I totally recommend Dr. Alvarez, he is a great and very knowledgeable surgeon that goes above and beyond for his patients I’ve had a wonderful experience with my surgery.

If you were like me, you have probably already read countless reviews and research countless surgeons. To save your time I will say if you are considering a gastric sleeve don’t waste your time researching anymore, you have found your surgeon and facility - Dr. Alverez at Endobariatric.
I had my VSG done by Dr. Alvarez on June 7 of this year and I couldn’t be more happy. All of the pictures you see of the facility are accurate. I have never ever been to a medical clinic or hospital that was as clean and welcoming as Endobariatric.
I also have never received better medical care than I did, while under the care of Dr. Alvarez and his staff. I never had to wait when I needed something either before or after surgery, there was always someone there to take care of me.
As for Dr. Alvarez, he is the rare exception of a surgeon, who is approachable, caring, compassionate, yet extremely extremely skilled at what he does.
After surgery I had no idea how much my life and outlook would improve once the weight came off. I am just three months out from surgery and can’t believe my progress so far. I have had no side effects from the surgery. Anything like acid reflux nothing. Also, my incisions were teeny teeny tiny, much smaller than I was expecting. I suspect once the scars heal, they will hardly be noticeable.
This is a lengthy review, but I just can’t say enough good things about Dr. A. Trust me, if you’re contemplating a gastric sleeve, just book your appointment, you won’t regret it.

I am not sure if there are enough words to express how grateful and amazing Dr. Alvarez and his team are. From the time you step into the Endo Hospital you are treated like family. I am only three months out and down 55 pounds. I work in healthcare and I share my story everyday and recommend Dr. Alvarez to everyone.
I knew with my family history I had to change my way of living and Dr. A helped me do that. I tell all of my patient's that I would do it all over again. He is hands down a master surgeon.
If you are considering the bariatric surgery, just go for it and pick Dr. Alvarez as your surgeon because I promise you there is no one else that can do what he does.
Thank you Dr. A for helping me gain my life back.

Dr.A has changed my life and I will be forever grateful to him, his amazing staff and superb facility. I know it’s a very important decision, but as someone who has had bariatric surgery I recommended Dr.A one hundred percent. I know two people who had surgeries with him and that’s the reason I went with him. The facility is super clean, comfortable and safe. I left my house on Tuesday morning, had my surgery Wednesday morning, recuperated and had the most amazing post op massage on Thursday and was safely back home by Friday afternoon. Dr.A and his team are truly amazing, always there to answer any questions and concerns. I am so happy, and it has been the best decision of my life. Life changing.

Dr Alvarez's and the A-Team are the best
Dr Alvarez's performed my surgery on 04/24/2023 which was the best decision I ever made" And I'm so glad that he is the one that preformed the surgery, Dr Alvarez's made sure you were comfortable in his care and made sure his staff was keeping you comfortable at all times
The trip to the spa and store was even great, thanks to the drives that drove us around
Brandi was my coordinator and she made it so easy to prep for my trip to Endohospital

The Stay in Endohospital was the best , very clean and spotless and the staff took good care of everyone there.
I had a great stay there along with my surgery

Again I can't even say it enough Thank you
Dr Alvarez's And The A-Team

Dr. Alvarez is an outstanding surgeon. His entire staff and facility were top notch from the very start of the inquiry process through the post op continued support. I would absolutely recommend Dr. A as the best of the best!

Dr. A is fantastic. He shows genuine interest and cares for his patients. The hospital is amazing and his staff is just phenomenal. My surgical experience was wonderful from check in to discharge. I have no regrets with a total weight loss of 55 pounds to date, just 3 months post surgery. I feel so much better physically and emotionally. I truly am grateful for Dr. A and highly recommend him if you are considering bariatric surgery.
