• Surgeon: Dr. Almanza

I had a lap band put in in May 2012, and I starting having trouble in 2013. After not being able to get any support from the Clinic that put my Lap band in. I started researching to have the revision to the sleeve.
I have been finding out a lot about Dr. Almanza. So I scheduled to have my revision done.
From the minute I made the decision to have the revision done I got excellent support from the Weight Loss Agents.
When I arrived in San Diego, the driver was very personably and friendly. At the Hotel we were greeted by the Nursing staff, who were also very friendly. The next day I went for my lab work and EKG and again the staff at the lab was great.
At the hospital the staff made you feel very comfortable. When I got to meet Dr. Almanza, he put me at ease about what I could expect from my surgery, he also explained IF there was a lot of scar tissue I might NOT be able to do the revision right away, until he got in there he would know for sure. My surgery was the last of the day. If you have a revision it takes longer than if you have never had weight loss surgery before.
I did have the revision. I personally had not pain after my surgery and the next day I was allowed to go back to the motel. I was up walking around as soon as I was awake good.
The hospital staff was wonderful and Dr. Almanza was too.
I would recommend to anyone thinking about having weight loss surgery, to contact the Weight Loss Agents. I don't believe you will be disappointed.
I had my surgery on May 19th and I am already down 25 pounds.
