I had been struggling with my over-weight all my adult life after having 10 babies. I've tried every diet imaginable yet I could not escape the constant, extreme hunger I felt every day. I did not have insurance so did not see WLS (weight-loss surgery) as an option... until I read a $4,499 WLS internet special in Mexico. After extensive research, I decided to pursue my dream of being healthy once again. With Dr. Almanza performing thousands of these types of surgeries, I felt confident to move forward. I had the support of my entire family as well as my family physician of more than 30 years. Today I am 6 days post op. I am amazed at how quickly the recovery process for this type of surgery is! I feel great, have more energy and I'm sleeping through the night. The dramatic weight-loss is a great bonus besides.
