Good experience so far - 5 weeks since surgery (09/02/2014)
I had surgery with Dr. Almanza on July 25th and have lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. That's the short story. The longer one is that I was going to do self pay surgery in the USA, but the doctors wanted me to jump through so many hoops - endoscopy in a month, EKG, in another month, therapist in another mo... * read more.

My Experience (08/28/2014)
I had my surgery (the sleeve) done on 8/19/14. It was scheduled initially for 8/20/14 but when I arrived in Mexico on 8/19/14 the Doctor schedule had opened up. I was asked if I would like to have my surgery done on 8/19/14? So, I decided to say yes before I chickened out. I must admit that I was te... * read more.

When I say it isn't a gam... * read more.

From the time you get into the van till the time you leave the hospital, everyone is friendly and wants only the best for you. Doctor Almanza is an amazing doctor. Very little english but as he says, great hands. I came out of the anesthesia early I believe and could feel a little bit of pain. Not d... * read more.
