I am very grateful to Dr. Almanza for doing my surgery at an affordable cost! I would not have been able to have this opportunity if he hadn't provided this service. It has been one month since my surgery and I have lost 27 pounds. The biggest difference is in my face. I came home off the high blood pressure meds and diabetic meds. I am feeling tons better from kicking my diet coke habit and the side effects from all the medicines. Still struggling with the incisions healing but I'm getting there! The ONLY negative is I think patients need more education as to what they can eat afterwards. I know a lot of it is trial and error. But overall I was very pleased with my experience and very grateful that I had the procedure! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
