VGS (02/19/2016)
My experience with Dr. Almanza was exceptional. Excellent care. His staff went above and beyond what I expected. I would suggest anyone who wants a Gastric Sleeve to come see Dr. Almanza and talk to his staff and have him do the surgery.

Great surgeon / wonderful staff / positive experience! (02/17/2016)
I had a VSG on Valentine's Day weekend. It was a positive experience with the staff, & surgeon (Dr. A). I'd really recommend following the rules 100% and getting in shape as much as possible beforehand. I do still feel bloated and it's difficult to get fluids into my stomach...but I'm still in th... * read more.
2nd try: I am going to do a better job this time of keeping it off. (02/16/2016)
I had this surgery the first time Thanksgiving 2012. I lost 70 lbs but found myself gaining it back. By the time I gained back 25 lbs, I decided to come back for a revision. I wasn't able to eat the way I used to before the first surgery but I gained weight based on the foods I chose to eat. I thoug... * read more.

Feeling better than ever!! (02/16/2016)
I have to admit that I was very skeptical about having surgery in Tijuana. I was worried about infection, complications, and where I was going to keep my passport and ID:)
Well, I have to say that the entire treatment was excellent from the ride from the airport to the the very last day. Everything... * read more.
