HI FAMILY
I LIVED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR 28 YEARS.MY WEIGHT GAIN STARTED IN 1995,MY LAST DOCTOR VISIT WAS NOVEMBER 2011 AT THAT TIME HE INCREASE MY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION TOTAL OF
5 MEDICATIONS ONE FOR HIGH CHOLESTEROL.I WAS TIRED OF BEING OVER WEIGHT AND DOPED UP DAILY
IT CONTINUE TO CLOUD MY JUDGEMENT.IN JANUARY 2013 IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE I NEEDED HELP,
SO I STARTED TO RESEARCH MY OPTIONS, WELL MY HEALTH INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER BARIATRIC
SURGERY. I FOUND THIS WEB SITE "GASTRIC SLEEVE" I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH PEOPLE RESULTS.
AFTER 3 MONTHS OF VIEWING VSG FAMILY ON YOUTUBE I SAID THIS IS IT. SO I AGREED TO HAVE SURGERY IN MEXICO. I WAS BLESSED TO SCHEDULE A SURGERY DATE ON MAY 13TH 2013. MY HIGHEST
WEIGHT WAS 303 lbs.WITH TWO WEEKS OF LIQUID DIET, DAY OF SURGERY WAS 286 lbs.MY EXPERIENCE IN MEXICO WAS AWESOME VERY PROFESSIONAL AT ALL TIMES. AFTER SURGERY HAD TO TAKE IT EASY
AND DRINK SLOWLY. 5 DAYS AFTER SURGERY I WAS BACK TO WORK STILL TAKING IT EASY, AFTER A FEW WEEKS I HAD MORE STRENGHT AND WAS ACTIVE AGAIN.I HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR DR.
MARIO ALMANZA AND HIS STAFF. BEFORE SURGERY HE GREET US AND EXPLAIN WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE.AS OF JULY 22,2013 I'M down 42lbs cw 244lbs I feel like a new man, my energy level
is crazy, staying away from sugar,walking daily, my blood pressure is 126 over 74 thats normal.MY PRIMARY DOCTOR HAVE ALREADY REDUCE MY MEDICATIONS, NEXT VISIT IN AUGUST 2013
HE WILL DETERMINE TO TAKE ME OFF ALL MEDICATIONS. THIS IS ONE OF MY GOALS TO ACHIEVE.
DR. ALMANZA WITH MUCH EXPERIENCE HE DID MY GASTRIC SLEEVE, I'm VERY HAPPY NOW I SMILE A
LOT MORE NOW MY WEIGHT IS NOT A ISSUE.I HAVE A 10 MONTH OLD GRANDSON TIME WITH HIM
