• Surgeon: Dr. Almanza

Afflicted with type 2 diabetes, I tried every diet and diet pill available to me. NOTHING worked for very long. I wanted to be around for my husband and grandchildren, so I decided to have the gastric sleeve surgery.
My weight loss as of today is 44lbs. I am OFF all diabetic medications(metformin pills and Victoza injections), and my blood pressure is now under control.
This has been the greatest gift I could've possibly given to myself! I am getting so many compliments on my looks and my mood is so "happy".
My ONLY regret is that I did not do this much sooner and that is the honest to God truth!
At no time was I ever uncomfortable or in any pain, which surprised me.
The people were very nice and helpful, even after I returned home after my surgery.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Almanza to my friends and family. He has changed my life for the better.
Thank you to all of you who participated in making my life much healthier and happier!
