My New Life *

  • Name: Dyanne
  • Age: 48
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: July 17th, 2012
  • Testimonial date: August 15th, 2012
  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I am so grateful I chose to have the surgery. In 4 weeks, I've lost 24 lbs and have dropped 2 clothing sizes. I am excited about my new journey! I feel great. My blood sugar has been low (140) and I no longer take insulin! Having Type 2 Diabetes was my motivation to have the surgery. I have more energy and have implemented an exercise program. I thought the post-op diet would be difficult. But I have not had any problems, unless I try to eat something I'm not supposed to, then it comes back up. I learn lessons about eating every day!

Thank you to Dr. Almanza and his staff. They were wonderful people and very thorough in their job!
