I have been considering weight loss surgery for years, however my insurance at work will not cover bariatric procedures. I was told by two others in my town about Dr. Almanza and the benefits of doing it in Mexico.

After careful research I decided the time was now. I have always dreamed of having the tool to be successful with weight loss. I have battled it for at least 28 years.

The car picked us up at the airport and drove us safely into Mexico and to the hospital.
Once there we were visited by a man who talked about our procedure and collected any remaining money.

They then took my blood and checked my heart. I was all good for surgery. They had me remain on one blood pressure medication.
The next morning I was suited up for surgery and taken to the room where it would take place. I hate needles so the iv inserting was the worse part. Before I knew it I was asleep and being woke back up and taken to recovery. Not going to lie its not wonderful after surgery, but what surgery is? I had difficulty getting up and walking the first night. The worst part was trying to lift my body up and out of the bed. I had a hard time with this the whole time.

The next day I had to drink some blue "water" and await the leak test. When it was time for the leak test I had to take two more gulps of a different drink. I was told no leaks and got a picture of my new stomach. Man was it tiny.

Went back to recovery and walked, slept, sipped on popsicles and jello and walked some more.

The facility was very clean.

The nurse who took my drain out was very nice and knew I was worried about it coming out. I took a deep breath and it came out. I also had my iv taken out the night before I left.

The following morning we awoke at 5am and loaded the van at 6am and headed back to the United States.

I am now over 50 days post surgery and feeling good.
