- Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
My heaviest weight was 303 lbs. My weight at start of liquid diet before surgery was 286 lbs. Today only 77 days after surgery I am 236 lbs. A total of 60 lbs. My goal weight is between 185-200 lbs.
Now about the people that I dealt with before, during and after the surgery.
Once I contacted the Weight Loss Agents they were very helpful in getting me the information I needed and by answering any questions that I might have.
The day before surgery, I flew into San Diego, I was met by very friendly staff and taken to get pre-op work done. I reviewed the hospital and everything was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The next day, day of surgery, I met with Dr. Mario Almanza. He answered all the questions I had and had a very good bedside manner.
Surgery went well and the nurses were very helpful during the post-op.
I would recommend Dr. Almanza to anyone thinking of doing the sleeve surgery.
Thank you to the staff for a very pleasant time in Mexico and the great professionalism that you all showed.
Here is to better days ahead and a longer life!!
