So about two years ago I went to see my doctor, because my legs where starting to turn black. My doctor told me that I was so heavy that the vans in my legs were starting to burst and if I did not lose weight I would lose my legs! Then he told me that my heart would not hold up because it was working so hard. He said if I didn't change I would die by the time I was fifty. He told me about weight loss surgery and I started the process of researching the different types of surgery and I spoke to lots of people. My sister told me about dr.mario almanza I found he had a zero mortality rate. So surgery in May and I'm down 150lbs went from 420 lbs to 270 lbs this was the best thing I've ever done
