Thoughts on Dr. Almanza

[pattymd 0]

I agree as I was also a big kid but seriously this was not right he was really not even hefty just had a little belly and a cute round face. It was a real eye opener to see a parent willing to put a knife into their own child basically she said so he could audition for a larger spectrum of roles! It was just one more what the #### moment for me there.

 

i am here now i got sleeved yesterday with him the day i arrived on thursday he had 13 patients he has another small clinic next to the jerusalem one where i stayed yesterday after my surgery i was number 4 out of 12 schedule for surgery yesterday.

Are you sure it was 12? Because others on here demand that it's impossible for him to do 12. Lol I'm glad you're doing good! keep us updated.

Read my thread "notes from Mexico". I would not recommend that facility. To anyone! It was bad.

Sorry it's labeled "notes on Mexico Jersuleum hospital"

Me too!

 

 

All I can say is I had Dr Almanza do my surgery in July 2012 I had great results and would have him do it all over again

[Diamondeyed 399]

He is experienced

[KickRocks 163]

I would do a lot and I mean a lot of research. Personally I wouldn't go to him.

[Diamondeyed 399]

If he had a setting like Mi hospital, no question....

Now why in the world would i lie? On top of it all i waited 3 hours in the van to cross the border. If you do not want to believe me dont but it is true what i went through. The doctor never checks up on you after the surgery just the nurses.

I believe she was being facetious. I am not attempting to speak for her of course. I am, however, fairly confident she was not calling you a liar.

 

Ppl have insisted, adamantly, it is impossible for Dr. Almanza to do more than 8 surgeries per day although reports of 10 or more have surfaced multiple times. Some patients become very protective and defensive...

 

I hope you're recovering well...

I think Jesser was being sarcastic, as people who have gone to Dr A have said "There's no way!"

However it'd seem they've found a way as the day that I was scheduled there were 9 other's booked...

 

 

Side Note: I think that the supportive aspect of this forum, especially topics about Dr A, is being lost.

 

I understand that others may not choose him.

What I don't understand is why people are getting *seemingly* rude about it, whether they agree with another users choice are not, we are all over weight, facing surgery, and quite possibly scared! If you "aren't scared" you should do a little more research on surgies and anesthetics and the like. There is a chance, regardless, that something can/will go wrong. I think statistically, if you have more patients things will be less likely to go 100% amazingly perfect.

 

1% of 1.00 is less than 1% of 100.00 dollars, right?

 

When I go, if I have an AWFUL experience you better believe I won't come here to talk about it or seek support. Which sucks cuz that's why I came to this forum in the first place.

 

I wish the best for all awaiting their surgery and I hope for healing and success for those who've had their surgery.

 

pattymd I hope you are doing well girl!!

I was not calling you a liar at all. Matter of fact I 100% believe you. That's the thing, I've tried telling others when they inquire about this surgeon that he has done up to 12 a day from what I have read, and most people call ME the liar. So yes, I was being sarcastic. Not towards you or anyone else for that matter. Just glad that others are coming out and stating the facts is all
