The decision to have Gastric Sleeve surgery was long and best decision I ve ever made. All of the staff with the Weight Loss Agents were very informative and helpful! Weight a Loss Agents took care of all the surgical aspects, hotel stay and transportation!! I was very scared of traveling and having surgery alone but WLA made sure I was placed with three very amazing ladies that I am so happy to call my friends. Dr Almanza and the hospital staff were simply amazing!! The nursing staff was very informative and caring!! Never did I want for or need anything during my stay at the hospital and because I traveled alone I remained at the hospital for two nights!! The Grand View Hospital was amazingly clean!! The recovery from the surgery has not been difficult for me! The learning experience is knowing the signs of being full and not taking one more bite!! For some reason my eyes don t understand the small amount of food I now consume at my meals!! However, I have to admit I was very disappointed that my weight was coming off so slowly. This experience has been a life changer for me and I have a long road ahead of me still to reach my goals. I know I ve made the best decision ever and I don t regret it. Dr Almanza and the nursing staff are so professional and have a high quality of care!! STOP THINKING ABOUT HAVING THE SURGERY AND JUST DO IT,
