I can't believe its over...wow! Been wanting this all my life...to get my life back.
On Jan 5'2016, I had the gastric sleeve done. Starting weight of 260pounds. I was very nervous and skeptic at first...but how soon things would change.
The driver who picks you up is a perfect gentleman...the bellhop/service guy Alonzo is spectacular.... Loving and kind.
Surgery went fine and recovery was easy....nurse Celia was a angel for my stay at the hospital. Patient and kind...Dr. Almanza is a fun loving man...busy man but a sweetheart...we got brought to our hotel and the nurses there were at your becking call...in my case it was Alejandra... Your a angel from heaven and Dr. Almanza is more then lucky to have you...you deserve the very best...24/7 care...meds promptly and freezies, or juice when needed..all around wonderful experience...I'm only 6 days post op and feel good already... Please don't listen to media...this place is amazing...8 of us went together and are all fine!! Good luck.
