- Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
Getting the sleeve was the best gift I could have ever given myself! My experience with Dr. Almanza was a life changing experience. I feel better than I have felt in 25 years. There were some ups and downs after the procedure but most had to do with me learning how to eat and how to be healthy. I don't want anybody to think that having the sleeve procedure done was a "miracle cure" because it isn't. You still have to put in the work and adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors. I was a yo-yo dieter for years and I had become so unhealthy and miserable. At my highest weight, I was 223 lbs and as of 12/05/2014 I am down to 161 lbs!! That's a 62 pound loss in 9 months! I am so happy with my sleeve!! Working with Weight Loss Agents made having my procedure done so easy. They are always a phone call away and very helpful. Dr. Almanza is truly gifted (and pretty doggone cute too!!). My only regret is that it took me this long to do it!
