At the age of 43 I found myself searching for someone, some place to have weight loss surgery. I looked online, called locally and nationally to no avail. No doctor or medical staff wanted to perform surgery on me. They all said that I was morbidly obese and weighed too much.
I was morbidly obese. I weighed 530 lbs. My body hurt all over. My legs, back, hips, all of my joints, I was in constant pain. I needed help and no one seemed to care enough to take a chance on me.
I found Weight Loss Agents, Dr. Mario Almanza and his medical team/staff. After contacting them, they told me that it would be no problem. They scheduled my surgery within 2 weeks. It was serious , I needed help.
The hospital staff, surgical team, the Hotel Ticuan were great!! Dr. Almanza is the best physician that I could ever have chosen. He knows what he is doing and most importantly he cares about his patients. Dr. Almanza saved my life!!! I have no doubt.
I am 37 days out from surgery and thus far I have lost 85 lbs.
I feel great !!! As a matter of fact, I haven't felt this good in many years. I continue on this journey with optimism and a smile on my face. I owe it all to Dr. Almanza and his medical team. This has been an incredible journey and I look forward to my continued weight loss. I still have a long way to go, but I can and will do it!! The pics I am uploading are before and 60 lbs after. Will keep you updated as I go. Thank you Dr. Almanza!
