- Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
Just got home last night on 12/17/12 and my surgery was less than a week ago. I had a Lapband removed and a revision to the Gastric Sleeve at the same time. Dr. Almanza is incredible and in my opinion the top surgeon in the world when it comes to this procedure. I have absolutely NO PAIN today and I have been tolerating liquids with a breeze. The only other thing I can share is that you need to do your research and know what to expect when you get to the Jerusalem Hospital / Clinic in Tijuana. It is a fully operational clinic with a state of the art operating room. Some people here in the US would be set off by the location or apperance only because it sets in a traditional commercial shopping center very much like the "1 hour emergency medical clinics" we have here in the US. Other than that the other positive thing I can share was that it was very nice to get to meet other people that you will quickly become friends with "some possibly lifelong" because you are all there for the same reason, to better your health and to ultimately live life to the fullest!
