I have strugled with an obsession with food for 2 decades. my situation was such that the long term effects of emotional eating had led me to diabetes and high blood pressure. 5 shots of insulin per day. in october of 2013 I buried my mother because complications of diabetes. this was the reason I started to research surgical options. I found Dr. Almanza on line. he seemed to have the most e3xperience of those I found. I took a leep of faith and booked my surgery. 8 months later, 100 pounds ligvhter and most important.......diabetes free! I urge anyone who sees thier life as controled and desimated by food to have this surgvery. its by no means a quick fix but it has helped me regain controle of my weight and proven to be an essential tool in establishing a healthy relationship with food. no longer am I living my life wondering what im going to eat next. thank you Dr.Almanza for giving me the opportunity to have a great life again.
