  • Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
I had my surgery 06/04/2018. At that point I weighed 210lbs. I had been put on BP medication in June of 2016, at which time I weighed 180 lbs. Over the next 2 years I gained 20 lbs & tried 3 different BP meds, none of which properly controlled my blood pressure. I made the decision to do surgery with Dr. Almanza after talking to a couple in my church who had both used him & his clinic with great success. I am a registered nurse so I also did some research & decided what was best for me. I had absolutely no issues while I was there. The hospital is by far the cleanest hospital I have ever been in, the staff was very attentive & helpful. From the beginning I did exactly what I was told to do, pre-op, post op & following. I can say with 100% confidence that I have not had one single problem. I followed all instructions to a T!! Took all meds I was prescribed, followed aftercare instructions for incision sights, did not rush the post op diet, walked as much as I could, everything exactly like I was instructed! Now 7 months later I weigh 140 lbs, feel better than I have in years & have not taken any BP meds since surgery & maintain a healthy, normal BP daily. This grandma of 10 intends to stay healthy so I don't miss a thing my grand children are doing!!
