Hi I am from Santa Rosa,, my name is Linda and I had the gastric vertical sleeve by one of the greatest surgeon Dr Alami at Kaiser South San Francisco on May 5,2011 and have lost a total of 75 pounds,, have had no complications,, just a little burping,, and I just need to eat a little slower,,, but all is great, It has changed my life so much,, no more knee pain,, back pain.. sleep apnea,,, If I had to do it over I would do it again,, it was the best for me,,, I only wish that I did not wait so long to have this...
So anyone who is getting ready for a life change do not hesitate and go ahead and have the surgery Dr Alami is wonderful,,, My starting weight was 255, and as of today January 8, I am 185.. wearing a size 12 from a size 22.
