I should of done it sooner. A friend of mine went a year earlier to Dr Almanza and I watched the weight fall off of her. I felt horrible at 315 lbs and knew if I didn't make a change then I was headed for an early death. The day before my 43rd birthday my passport arrived in the mail and I booked my surgery with Dr Hernandez . I had 10 days between the date I booked till the actual surgery . My overall experience was good except , I went by myself and had to leave the room when I went to the hospital with all my belongings and the morning after my surgery they took everyone else but me and let me sit in a hard uncomfortable lobby chair and said it was going to be 2 hours possibly 4 till I was to get another room . You can imagine after not having enough rest in the hospital post procedure and you have no where to go. I was not a happy camper . I am down to 240 and feel great and have a little ways to go to my goal weight of 160. I couldn't of done this without Dr Hernandez as my life has changed completely. I've had to learn my body and eating habits and it has been for the better.
