I never dreamed it'd be this way.... Too simple. (06/09/2013)

A new start (06/03/2013)
I started my journey several years ago. First checking with my insurance provider to see if they would cover my procedure. At that time I was looking into having the Lapband.
After I found out my insurance didn't cover any weight loss procedures, I started looking into other options. A co-worker an... * read more.
Best decision I ever made! (06/01/2013)
I am Soo thankful for Dr. Almanza and his team. They were polite and very tentative to our needs. Everything I researched and found was just as I expected. Yes the clinic is small, yes it's in a strip mall, but I was treated. better by the staff there than... * read more.
