The Best Decision of My Life! *

  • Name: Victoria
  • Age: 57
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: October 22nd, 2013
  • Testimonial date: April 14th, 2015
  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I've struggled with weight since I can remember (4 years old). The Gastric Sleeve is the best thing ever. Dr. Almaza is the best surgeon & Weight Loss Agents are the most understanding, loving & patient staff. They're more like friends & family. A little over a year ago I weighed 327 pounds & wore a size 28. Had high BP, was very depressed, had no self esteem, & lived with constant pain in most of my joints.

I now weigh 152pounds,wear size 6, love dressing up,& I don't go anywhere without putting on my makeup, and for the first time in over 30 years I am wearing stiletto heals. I feel better now than ever before. My husband loves the new me & frankly so do I. It's extremely enjoyable to see the expression of people not recognizing me & then realizing it is me! I love the new me!
