I had my gastric sleeve on Jan.9, 2015. It has been 1year. I have lost over 50 pounds sence the day of my surgery with Dr Mario Almanza. I have lost over 80 pounds from my heaviest weight which was 235Lbs. I now weigh 163Lbs.

I can not express how happy I am!
I am a new person, literally!
I was so miserable before. I would try so hard to lose weight and I would but it would come right back on. I have spent $1000's of dollars on diet programs. They worked but only for a couple of months after months and months of hard work.
I finally decided to check out weightloss surgery. I had a friend who went to Mexico and got the Lapband and she lost her weight. So, I decided to research it and found Dr. Almanza. He had GREAT reviews so I went for it!

My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner!

I thank you and my family thanks you. I am now a fun and out going mom and grandmother!
