It was 2021, I had just turned 26 and couldn't recognize myself anymore. I had always struggled with my weight, obesity running in the family, but being isolated during lockdown sent me over the edge.

I had been toying with the idea of a gastric sleeve for a couple years but never knew of anybody who had gone to Mexico. That October, a close family member flew down to see Dr. Almanza and couldn't say enough good things about their experience and subsequent results. So, I filled out the paperwork and sent it in. I got accepted to go through with the procedure, so I booked it.

I flew down January 23rd, 2022 and was the first patient on the table on the 24th. Today is September 1st, 2022 and I can say my life is changed.
