  • Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
At my highest weight of 267 lbs I was depressed unmotivated and very unhappy. I didnt have the energy to do much let alone try to excercise. My body hurt back ,knees ,and I had sleep apnea. On May 1st 2013 my life changed for the good . I was scared but I knew after trying everything there was to loose wt. this was a last resort. Dr Almanza and his nurses were great .I have had no complications . I currently weigh 150# total lost 117# . I feel great I wear a size 6 from a size 20-22 . My only regret is not having done this sooner .
