Life Is Good...No, Fantastic! (08/12/2013)
I have to thank Dr. Almanza for giving me a new life. Prior to my surgery I was an old woman suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure.

The experience (08/12/2013)
was ideal. It went so smooth. I even left a day early. My weight loss wasn't as much as I expected. I only lost 30 pounds. I wonder if they actually took 80% of my stomach. Others have lost 80+ pounds but not me.
I would do it again if I knew that I would actually lose more weight. But overall the... * read more.

I'm not going to say it has been easy because I have had some difficult moments, but I must say that I am already so much happier than before.

New Life - Day 6 (08/07/2013)

Two wonderful unexpected side effects I am experiencing are: no shaky hands ( I have no idea what was causing this but it is now gone!) and I am no longer hot (temp wise....hehehehe). I... * read more.
