After struggling with my weight for years and on all different diets, I finally broke down and decided to have the "sleeve" done.

My heaviest weight was 303 lbs. My weight at start of liquid diet before surgery was 286 lbs. Today only 77 days after surgery I am 236 lbs. A total of 60 lbs. My goal weight is between 185-200 lbs.

Now about the people that I dealt with before, during and after the surgery.

Once I contacted the Weight Loss Agents they were very helpful in getting me the information I needed and by answering any questions that I might have.

The day before surgery, I flew into San Diego, I was met by very friendly staff and taken to get pre-op work done. I reviewed the hospital and everything was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The next day, day of surgery, I met with Dr. Mario Almanza. He answered all the questions I had and had a very good bedside manner.

Surgery went well and the nurses were very helpful during the post-op.

I would recommend Dr. Almanza to anyone thinking of doing the sleeve surgery.

Thank you to the staff for a very pleasant time in Mexico and the great professionalism that you all showed.

Here is to better days ahead and a longer life!!
