my knees, back, and neck don't hurt anymore. 3 nights after surgery i slept the whole night through without sleep apnea. i actually have dreams at night! haven't had those in years! no more chest pains, no more pins and needles in my feet and legs. i started at 412# pre surgery. 2 weeks post op, 350# yes even the sex department is coming back to life. my hands are steady enough to take up shooting again! my B.P. used to be 145/90, now its normally 115/65! i forgot that life could be this sweet!
dr. almanza and his crew were worth every dime, the reason that i went to mexico for this surgery instead of staying here in the U.S. is FREEDOM! i wanted to avoid 6 months to a year of regulatory hoops to jump through, cut the government crap and go straight to the surgery. only i found out that the only way for me to do that was to leave the U.S. for greener pastures in mexico!
