Sleeved and re-sleeved (02/01/2020)
I was originally sleeved 11 years ago by Dr. Almanza and successfully lost 90 pounds. I kept the weight off for 10 years but slowly gained about 30 pounds back. I decided to get re-sleeved with Dr. Almanza in September 2019. In four months, I have lost 20 pounds with hopes to lose 10 more.

The best thing (01/28/2020)
I have struggled with my weight my whole life. But in 1996 I was in a serious car accident. I was bed redden for a year. After that I gained weight and I had trouble losing it. Because of my injuries I could workout or even walk. Now I can walk without pain.
I met my goal weight in 230 days!!!

Scared, but worth it! (01/16/2020)

It does jump start you into realizing you can be a better you. You really do have to change your eating style and that will be the ha... * Read full review →
Great Experience (01/14/2020)
My biggest concern was since this Doctor was one of the lower in cost that the service was going to be limited as well. I was wrong.
