Hello,

I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery 9 months ago. I started with 50lbs to lose and have lost 35. Wish I would have taken my measurements because I have lost way more inches than pounds. I went from a size 14 to a 6/8 and still working on the last 15 lbs. I have always been very active, so as soon as I was cleared I started working out and riding my bicycle again and I feel great.

I now have a closet full of cloths that fit instead of (what can I wear that will hide my fat). It is a great feeling to walk to the closet and just pick out an outfit knowing it will look good on.

I'm an RN and I have to say the experience freaked me out a little because infection control standards are not the same in Mexico as the are in the US. That being said, I did have a great recovery without an infection.

My sister had the surgery with Weight Loss Agents about 7 yrs ago without any issues and is very thin to this day, And I did recommend Dr. Almanza to a friend, she has had the surgery and looks great too!

Good luck everyone!
