Thank you both for the welcome! sharonintx, I have two friends who used Dr. Almanza and he came highly recommended by them. Glad you have positive things to say as well. It can get a bit overwhelming at times reading all the stories!

When the doctor prescribed yet another medication. I want to be able to keep up with my husband, and meet my future grandchildren. I want a better sex life. Sick of seeing myself in the mirror getting fatter and fatter and nothing I did seemed to work long term.

Hello! Ann in Texas here. Scheduled for gastric sleeve with Dr. Almanza on May 19th. Very excited to begin the weight loss journey using my new tool. I have been overweight for over 10 years, resulting in more and more medical conditions as I age. I have lost the same 30 pounds at least four times. I am looking to the gastric sleeve as a tool for better health for a better quality of life. I am a very active person who enjoys the outdoors and all it has to offer. I like camping, boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, and Jeeping off road. I hope to live a long life and do all the things I enjoy with my active (skinny) husband. I hope to meet others to support me through the journey, as I am self pay and going to Mexico Weight Loss Agents for my procedure. I have used on-line forums in the past and feel they are a wonderful resource for support and knowledge. My mother has had lap band for over four years and been very successful. She is very supportive, but I like the resource of the on-line community. Thank you for reading!
