Before my surgery, i had spent many years and countless number of $'s trying to lose weight. I even tried to get help from my family doctor to have this same surgery done in Canada. It was a constant battle with no results. In the last year leading up to my surgery, i was in constant pain. It was so bad i couldnt sleep for more then 3 hours a night and had to sleep sitting up in a chair. My family and I love to travel but i could hardly walk to my kitchen without having to sit down from pain. Thats when a wonderful family member suggest i try gastric sleeve with Dr.Almanza. She had done the surgery 3 yrs prior and looked amazing. I didn't commit right away, i was still very leary about having surgery done in mexico with all the crazy horror story's. Eventually the pain just became too much and i contacted the clinic. The staff was so amazing right from that first call to after my surgery. In 8 months i have lost 98lbs. I move around with ease, the pain in my back is almost totally gone (except with weather change), I sleep in my bed every night, and fit comfortably in plane seats without an extension belt. Its been an amazing transformation, and i feel fantastic. It is definitely an experience I would do again.
