I wish I wouldent have waited so long to do this,,,, so much of my life wasted, fighting a war I couldent poSsibly win,, so after a year of reserch and reading and seminars,, and after being jerked around for almost a year by my insurance company. I started looking into paying for this myself... Then I found dr almanza 's name randomly mentioned on a few gastric sites... Then I fouund gastric sleeve .com and asked questions almost daily for about 6 months narrowing my doctors by price. But most of all by experience,,, I'm now 4 and a half months out and have lost 94 pounds. From a 22 to a 12.the surgery was quick,,, and recovery was simple if you follow the rules!!... I can eat everything but a select items,,, I just can't eat as much.......so thank you for giving me a second chance at life,,, I don't know if the doc realizees how much he has changed my world,,, no more meds, no more tired feed,aching back and the sort... Feel confident. This works and was well worth the minimum discomfort for a few days
