Best Choice I've Ever Made *

  • Name: Joshua
  • Age: 44
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: September 11th, 2017
  • Testimonial date: June 18th, 2018
  • Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
I had surgery on 9/11/2017. Right at 9 months later I've lost over 120 lbs. I was between 355 - 360. I felt like I was a lively and vibrant person trapped in somebody else's body. I was tired all of the time, I felt terrible about myself, my health was failing and I was in constant pain of some kind.

I now weigh between 225-230 and I feel and look better than I ever have. I still have a little work to do but I wouldn't change this decision for anything. I got a new and better job and I get respect and admiration from my piers. They see me as a dynamic person and not just a fat guy.

I love my new life and I am forever grateful to this organization for making this procedure available to the average Joes like me. If you need this treatment, I absolutely encourage it!
