I am in my late 30s. I have been battling weight demons most of my life. I finally took the plunge in July and scheduled myself for the sleeve. Dr Almanza and his team were all very professional and friendly. They answered all of my questions and I felt at ease. I chose to do recovery at the hotel. I really enjoyed the room and espicially the fabulous walk in shower. The drivers would pick us up to bring us to the clinic or for our xrays. They were really helpful. I felt sick the 2nd day but by the 3rd day I was up and walking and shopping! I immediately felt a difference when walking or going up stairs. I am now 4 weeks out and couldn't be happier. I have lost 50lbs and went down 2 pant sizes. I should have done this in my 20s but better late than never!
