Eight inches off my waistline *

  • Name: Robert J

  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
There is a world of difference between a 46-inch waist and a 38-inch waist! I no longer need to shop in the "big and tall" section of department stores.

I've dropped 65 pounds since my gastric sleeve, and fluctuated within a very narrow range (plus or minus 3 pounds) in the past 8 months. I lugged 65 pounds in barbell plates at the gym the other day and thought....I used to carry this much weight on me? No wonder I couldn't move!

Dr. Alamanza did a very professional job with my sleeve. I had no complications, and highly recommend him if you are considering a gastric sleeve.
