Surgeon Testimonial

Guillermo Alvarez M.D.
I chose to have weight loss surgery in Mexico after losing the battle with my insurance co. And knowing I would have to self pay, the price was more affordable. The more I read about Dr. Alvarez the more impressed I became. I decided he was the surgeon I wanted. That was the best decision I could have made. Dr. Alvarez has a wonderful bedside manner, a great sense of humor (you know what they say about laughter!!) and is a true gentleman. He even carried my Mom's luggage from his clinic to the hospital!! AND AN AWESOME SURGEON!! It couldn't be more obvious that he knows and loves what he's doing! My stay at the hospital was great. The nurses were very compassionate and like clockwork with meds. I rarely had to ask for anything! The entire experience was very pleasant!!

    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

9 MONTHS POST OP
posted on 6/25/08 1:04 pm
Okay...so I'm a day early!  9 months out tomorrow.  I'm down 155 pounds (Mondays are my official weigh day so I have not changed my ticker but for accuracy I weighed today! 
The past couple of months have been hard...I'm not gonna lie!  I have been brutally attacked by the carb monster on more than one occasion.  It took me back to my pre-op emotional state where I was STUCK in that vicious cycle of eating...feeling bad about what/how much I ate... and then drowning those feelings in more food!  It wasn't a fun place to be either time! As I'm sure most of you know!  I'm sure I will have more struggles like this but it's good to know that with my tool I can start again.
But now I'm feeling more in control.  I'm exercising regularly again, and enjoying it.  And the exercise has stepped up my weight loss too!  I am sooo close to ONEDERLAND!  Even being this close gives me the chills!  I NEVER thought it could happen!  I was sure (pre-op) I would never again weigh less than 300 pounds!  And being under 200 pounds was just a silly dream then!  But it's SOOO GONNA HAPPEN!!!
So...if anyone has any doubts about this surgery - I can tell you.... IT WORKS!!  It's always good to get help with the emotional stuff too though!  I hope to post new pics this weekend!
Thanks again to ALL of you wonderful people!  YOU ARE MY SUPPORT NETWORK!!  And I couldn't do this without you!!!  LOTS-O-LOVE  HAWK
