- Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
After having lap band, i still found it difficult to lose the weight. I never found a groove to help myself lose. I lost about 80 pounds then gained the majority back after I lost my 16 year old son in an auto accident. I started my lap band at 304 pounds then lost to 187 at my smallest. When i went in for revision to see Dr. Almanza, i was at 278. Now a year later i am down to 208, and hope to be under 200 very soon. I definitely could not have done this without Dr. Almanza and his amazing care and wonderful staff. It is something i never have regretted.
