Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am planning to have my surgery as soon as possible and I am in contact with few doctors trying to make the right decision. I wished that this forum doesnt have members who might be getting money referals and they only talk about their own experiences to help each other . Anyway thanks all for ur help my major question is

was anyone here helped by a lady named Rita Coonrod, she sounds like a respectful nice lady and she is trying to help me to get my surgery by dr Mario Almanza, it's a package to go to san diago.....Gastric Bypass Weight Loss Surgery, Mexico - The Bariatric Group s the company she works for I guess

th epayment should go to ISA in texas , has anyone done that b4 and is it safe to send the money this way . Rita sounds like a nice proffesional lady but I just want to make sure that I am on the right track and no spam is involved.

Another one is Sandy Johnson who is very porffesional and helpful as well , she gave me the same package for a different price . have anyone been helped by this lady or did the surgery through her. she workd for www.MexicoWeightLossSurgery.com

Both look good to me and I just want to hear from people who did it NOT WHAT PEOPLE THINK PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

in a lot of threads I notice that members start fighting so please please please dont do it here , if u have anything personal discuss it personally , I would like to get exact info so I can do my surgery very soon

thanks

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Almanza on Nov. 19th. Sandy is the one that set everything up for me. Very nice lady. I am nervous about the whole experience but trusting that everything will go well. I would be nervous about ANY Dr. doing this surgery on me, so that's not an issue for me. I know that Dr. Alberto Aceves seems to be a favorite around here but for some people, the difference between $9,000 and $6,000 might as well be the difference between $100 and a million. I am grateful that I am given this chance to do this. Just do your homework. Factor in cost and go with your gut (no pun intended) feeling. I will come back and let everyone know of my experience with Dr. Almanza and his team. I don't get money for referrals nor care where people choose to have their wls done. I'm just a normal mother and housewife that is sick of being fat. Good luck to you.

I am going to Dr. Almanza 12/29/09. I booked through Shirley Rohr, she works directly for Emmanuel Clinic. I am paying $5000 for the procedure. They are currently running $5,500 with airfare. I was confused by all of the different pricing for the same doctor as well. Glad I found Shirley, going with her was $1,000 cheaper than anyone else booking Dr. Almanza.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
