No question... A really great decision for me to have the gastric sleeve.. I had a lap band for 5 years with what is all too familiar complications .... Removed in May 2015 and did not have the option in the US from a bariactric doctor to have it replaced with a sleeve. The weight was coming back ...at an alarming rate...as i knew it would... So angry and disappointed .... but at the same time it worked out for the better looking outside the US and Canada.... the help from Dr. Almanza and the Weight loss Agency ability to help me...

I am 2 months post op and 2 pounds to goal weight.. I recovered nicely on my return from a wonderfully orchestrated medical travel from start to end.

I would like to request that we are provided more reference material and follow up check ins from the Weight loss Agents and Dr. Almanza's office. Sometimes feel a need for guidance and support.. Still worry that the sleeve will stretch over time... Have difficulty with this still.

Please feel free to reach to me if you need to....

Regards Sabrina
