When I made the decision to do this, I researched it over and over, some would say I'm taking the easy way out in weight loss, but in truth this was the hardest thing I have ever done. First, let me say that the staff of Dr Almanza have been amazing. I'm the only guy here at the moment in my group. The ladies have all been very nice and we are all working ourselves though the gas bubbles. The gas x does help, so bring it. My nerves were shot by the time I made it to the operation, but along the way, the staff were wonderful right up to the point when the nurse said to me "good luck", lol. She was awesome. A quick meeting with the anatesologist, a needle to relax me, and I wake up with them saying "good job". Smiles all around. I'm only 12 hours out of the operation. Gas bubble pain is alleviating, can't sleep though. Not sure why, just not tired, which is odd because I haven't slept in 48 hours or so, did I mentioned I was a tad stressed? To Dr Almanza and his staff thank you, for those who are on the fence, I'm here to say, it's gonna be fine. Message me and I will,walk you through the process..
