I had my surgery in March of 2013 and at 4 months out I have lost 71 pounds. unfortunately I have had a few different people tell me I took the easy way out, so I tell them if going to another country paying almost 5000 dollars and having a major surgery is easy then everyone would do it and to those who say i cheated I say the only thing I cheated was death... which is were I was heading it's UN healthy to be as heavy as I was and going to see Dr almanza saved my life. the experience was great they took wonderful care of me and I couldn't be happier!
