I loved June who first met with us when we arrived at the hotel. Everyone treated us with kindness and respect. I liked the hotel better than Jerusalem H... * read more.
What a Life Changing Experience! (10/17/2013)
I was quiet nervous when I began this life changing journey. A friend convinced me to move forward with my decision to have surgery. She had previously undergone the gastric sleeve surgery with great success. Once I made my mind up to do it, things started happening very quickly. The staff was very ... * read more.
Job well done and not looking back (10/17/2013)
Job well done Dr.Almanza and staff(all those involved), I am just over two months post-op and have lost 60 pounds to date, the procedure actually worked!

New Lifestyle (10/12/2013)
I had the gastric sleeve done in Mexico, with Dr. Almanza, about 2 years ago. I weighed 220 pounds and was completely miserble, I could not walk for 5 minutes before breaking out in a sweat, and not a femine glow type of sweat I mean a wet hair, shirt, and seat of pants type of gross experience. My ... * read more.

Eight inches off my waistline (10/11/2013)
There is a world of difference between a 46-inch waist and a 38-inch waist! I no longer need to shop in the "big and tall" section of department stores.
I've dropped 65 pounds since my gastric sleeve, and fluctuated within a very narrow range (plus or minus 3 pounds) in the past 8 months. I lugged ... * read more.
Pleasently surprized!!! (10/10/2013)
The clinic was clean, the doctor met me but then I did not see him again, the nurses and staff were effective, friendly and respectful. I was treated well. The only disappointment is the lack of stitching skill on behalf of the doctor, part of what I was hoping in losing the weight was a 2 piece ba... * read more.
