Today is 35 days after surgery, I have lost 41.4 pounds from the day of surgery. It has been an amazing experience. I feel fantastic! I have more energy, my joints don't hurt nearly as bad as before. Amazingly, even my asthma and allergic rhinitis is better, go figure on that one? It is an almost out of body experience to put on clothes that you always hoped to fit into, and then, they are TOO BIG for you! The experience with Baja Hospital and Dr. Almanza and his staff was exceptional. As a health care provider in the states, I was very cautious about this, but I felt even more comfortable at this facility than some that I have been to in the states. They are always cleaning, demonstrate great medical knowledge and skill along with the nurses being beyond compare. I was attended to very well, never had any concern, shockingly after the initial waking up after surgery, NO PAIN! I felt great after my first lap around the facility once I got out of surgery. I went back to work after 4 days, no issues whatsoever! Dr. Almanza is very skilled, his medical staff is wonderful. I had some blood pressure issues and the cardiologist was right on top of it, no issues since returning home. I was starting to have some issues prior to surgery, but I hadn't started meds, since I was hoping that this surgery would fix it and it did! If you are considering this facility for this procedure, do not hesitate! I would happily and confidently send any of my family members to have Dr. Almanza and his staff and facility!! Thank you Dr. Almanza and staff!!
