  • Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
Before my gastric sleeve surgery in 2023, I weighed 280 pounds and was struggling mentally and physically. I felt depressed, unhealthy, and unhappy with the way I was living. Making the decision to have surgery completely changed my life.

Since then, I've developed healthier habits, gained confidence, and feel better than I have in years. More importantly, I now have the energy and motivation to be present for my kids and live a longer, healthier life with them.

This journey has not only transformed my body, but also my mindset and overall quality of life. Choosing gastric sleeve surgery was truly the best decision I've ever made for myself and my family.
