The Truth about Weight Loss Agents...
dabbadoo00 replied to anonymousfact's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
While I appreciate everyones comments, just to add my own experience in ... I had my first surgery with Dr Almanza in 2015 and everything was fine. My incisions did not get infected nor did I have any other complications. I just had surgery again 1/17/19 and, so far, everything is good. My incisions even look better than before. I have no signs of infection nor any other complications. I do feel for the people who had bad experiences but mine were great. -

The Truth about Weight Loss Agents...
dabbadoo00 replied to anonymousfact's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thanks for the information but its a little too late for me. I used weightlossagents but as a nurse and having bariatric surgery before, I didn't ask any questions. I had revision surgery (lapband to sleeve) April 7, 2015 and had a great experience. ☺️ -

Dr Almanza April 7th
dabbadoo00 replied to sheliasworld's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
i feel fine. no nausea since i have been home. liquids going down okay. i just need to drink more water!! you'll be fine. i was scared when i went down there but its fine. after you get released from the hospital you go to the hotel and nurses check on you twice a day (or more if needed) and another doctor comes around to check on you. ???? -
