I was sleeved by Dr. Almanza 7 months ago, I would be happy to share my experience with anyone who is interested - just shoot me an email.

How did your surgery go with Dr. Almanza? Any complications? What was your total weight loss?

3 days until my surgery with Almanza, my head is spinning with too much obsessive researching. Please, anyone... email me any thing you are willing to share italbare4now@gmail.com

Surgery with Almanza went GREAT. 1 week out....I assure you, practice does make success I guess. 3 men and 3 women in my surgery day group with him. Of course it's 2 days of pain then it gets better. This man is respected, and not only did everything go well for me and those around me...we passed a new hospital being constructed that will supposedly be for his patients and putting his practice under one enormous roof. 8 stories high. I also want to report that after 2 weeks of obsessive searching for the "horror story " sources, I kept mysteriously coming up at dead ends....almost as if a very few incidents were blown way out of proportion, and anonymous individuals were trying to hurt his practice. My only complaint? Super confident, and clearly a little over practiced in the routine, forgetting each new group of people are probably a bit terrified and need a little hand holding. The best surgeons are all supermen and they know it, so it's not unusual. Look at Ben Carson.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
