This was my second surgery with this doctor and I highly recommend him. The first was for the weight loss but I found out after I lost the weight I had serious acid reflux, my own doctors here in Canada would never even look into this as they told me it was all weight related, once the weight was gone they only gave me pills that didn't work and told me to lose more weight. After some research and the increase in my reflux I decided to try to lose more weight. On going to the grand view clinic dr almanza sat with me and discussed my pervious surgery and how a resleeve wouldn't work and a gastric bypass would be far better for the acid. I decided to go ahead and try. I assure you this was one of the best things I could have done and I am so glad the dr suggested it over just doing what I wanted. The acid reflux is gone. I did lose weight with it but for me the acid being gone has changed my life for the better. The hospital was clean and the staff was wonderful! Honestly all I ever saw was people cleaning and the nurses constantly going.
Now. For the negatives. They need better wifi. It could also used some treadmills. You must walk for move the gas and the halls get boring fast. Plus when there's about ten people walking around you tend to bump into each other. I do hope they add the cafeteria soon too. My mother came with me and getting food for her was an issue. I'm told that's going to change in the future so I hope so. Those are the bigger things I can think of to be aware of too. I can honestly say I would recommend this place to anyone looking for weight loss or to fix issues like acid reflux!
I want to add too that I have heard much about this bacteria infection they had and I can not believe it. Everything was so clean and well maintained, they never reused anything and always used gloves, or proper equipment for any task. Everyone I went with has reported wonderful results and the few I heard complains from where from things that no one can control as their own bodies not healing. Going back to work too soon. Issues that now appear with weight loss being attributed to the operation. People need to remember that your body is going to change. And no two people will be the same. But for the doctor and how the operation is done. This place and this doctor are top notch.
