size 18 to a four in a year *

  • Name: A.
  • Age: 38
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: November 21st, 2012
  • Testimonial date: August 26th, 2015
  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I was very nervous and faced the skeptics going to another country for the sleeve. But the surgery was safe, nurses attentive and people there are so warm and friendly. After spending thousands of wasted dollars on fires and workout classes that didn't work, I went from 240 pounds to 148 pounds in a year and wear a size four/ six.
I never felt deprived or gad any complications. Best part is my health us better than ever and I get compliments all the time on my new body. I've received new job opportunities and feel confident and sexy.

While the sleeve isn't for everyone, it was right for me and worked wonderfully.

Thanks so much!
