I had my surgery on May 1st,2016. It was a great experience but no beating around the bush it was pretty painful the first couple of days. My incisions are healing well. Very good medical team that Dr Almanza has and they did a great job. The day after surgery I went back to the hotel to recover for a couple of days. On the third day they did another x ray to see that there was no leakage. The nurses at the hotel are available 24 hours a day and they do a good job. Would be nice if there English was a bit better though. Otherwise all went very well. On the 4th day we went home. Currently I am down 30 pounds from the time I started my pre-op diet. I am eating fairly good but am learning to eat small amounts and eat a little more often. So far I'm very happy I did the surgery. My goal is 100 pounds. In January my wife started talking about the surgery so while on vacation she had the same surgery on January 26. I was there to see how well it went and thought I have to do this too. I will tell you my wife had hardly any pain but I guess I had a double whammy with doing the gall bladder removal at the same time. My wife Tena is very happy with her surgery as well.
