Has Anyone Used Dr. Almanza In Tijuana For Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
bh7 replied to bturner0385's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
i had my sleeve done there on Oct 18/11. I had a fantastic experience. My boyfriend also went there for his procedure Nov 4/10. He is down 158 lbs a year later with zero complications and I am 6 weeks out and down 30 lbs. The clinic is in a strip mall, the recovery house can be busy at times but if you research before you go you will know full on what to expect. I paid 4500 for my surgery plus the cost of a flight from Canada (about 400.00) I have had zero problems, feel terrific and wouldn't change a thing about my decision. Everyone has to make their own decision about their surgeon and feel comfortable with their choice. You can pm me if you have any questions about the facility or anything else. -
had my sleeve done yesterday, it was an alright day pain wise, was quite nauseous last night. Feeling great today, walking quite a bit and sip sip sipping away. Go for my leak test tomorrow and then fly home friday. I will post my entire experience once I am home. Hope all the other Oct sleevers are doing well
