My son and I got the sleeve end of summer 2021. My son was 400 pounds, and I was 210 pounds. At 7 months my son lost 180 pounds and I was down 80 pounds!! Our lives are so much better now with more freedom to do what we want in life. Thank you to Dr Almonza and his awesome team!! Because of YOU we get to be our best selves. You saved my sons life with weight loss, and I will be forever thankful and grateful. If you are considering weight loss surgery and your hesitating-DONT because it's going to be the best decision you ever made aside from accepting Jesus as your savior, of course. My experience was great. Day 1 we weighed in, did labs, did ekg. Day 2 was surgery. Day three was tube removal and leak test. I was back to work without down time on day 4.I pray about everything before I do it and God said YES. Here I am today writing this testimony at 131 pounds on month 9. I feel amazing and look amazing. Thank you and God bless you for all you do!
