  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I have so much good things to say about this procedure and don't know where to start! I must say Dr Almanza is one of the greatest. At first I must say I was so scared to go to Mexico and have the surgery done but once there meeting the staff and Dr Almanza I knew I was going to be on a Great start to my life! Dr Almanza has helped me change my life with a new look on life and living healthy. Everyone that I can talk to about this surgery and how much it has changed my life I do share my story and what a Great Dr I had found. I am so glad that I did this for myself and loving life. If anyone out there is thinking about this Please Do it! It is something that will change your life forever. All the yo-yo diets that we all have done with the ups and downs of weight loss Never worked for me. From Weight Watchers to Nutri-Systems it always was a on - off weight loss never was able to lose the weight since I have the Gastric Sleeve I am proud to say that I have lost 60 pounds! And feel Great. I do minimal exercise which I try to do more at times but with my schedule I just cant. But you do learn how to eat right and always look forward to that next level of feeling better about yourself when you see the change that this has made. A must do also, take pictures, pictures, pictures! From the time you decide to go forward with surgery take photo's and during the weight loss after your surgery you will be amazed at the change in yourself! And Keep up the Good Work!
Thank You Dr Almanza for the Help of getting me to where I could never get on my own.
You are truly a Blessing,

Victoria A.
