Should I go ahead and shave my chest and belly before surgery? I've had EKG's before and pulling them off can be hell with chest hair like mine. Thanks guys!

I am currently sitting in the San Diego airport waiting for my flight home. I had VSG surgery with Dr. Almamza on Thursday, and I feel great. These boards freaked me out, I was very concerned going to Jerusalem Hospital in TJ. Well I'm here to say that I am so happy I went. My surgery was on Thursday, there were only 4 that day and we all came out feeling great. The clinic was spotless, and it was very professional. While at the recovery house I met some really nice people, I didn't hear one single negative comment. I later found out the they had no idea about VerticalSleeveTalk.com, lucky them. I honestly would send my mother to Dr. Almanza. I was treated like family, I don't have one single complaint. I feel better today than the day I flew down last week. If needed in 8 or 10 months I'll go back for a tummy tuck.

The lead singer of Heart, Ann Wilson had the lap-band in 2002. I'm a huge fan, been to over 100 shows, her voice is just as good as it ever was.

Thanks guys. I'll be sleeved in 2 weeks.

I'm having surgery on the 17th with Dr. Almanza. I've told only a few close friends. I agree with you, it's so hard, I wouldn't want anyone to feel like I can do it and they can't. Is the support group still on for this month? Bryan

Me too for June 17th.:thumbup: Dr. Almanza
