- Surgeon: Dr. Almanza
I would not hesitate to have surgery again with Dr. Almanza. I felt like I received excellent care. I never realized that my care would extend to the hotel part of my stay. I had nurses available for 24 hours per day and a doctor made rounds each evening. The hospital facilities were nice and it was obvious that it was being improved/remodeled. The after surgery hospital was also very nice. I do recommend booking an extra day for recovery before your flight home. I am two weeks out from my surgery. I am a 6th grade teacher. I went back to work exactly one week after surgery. I am doing fabulous and all is healing well. My starting weight was 197 lbs. and I currently weigh 187 lbs. I have a lower BMI, so I am pleased with my weight loss so far. Don't think about it anymore. Get healthy now.
