A few forums down from this one there's an entire one dedicated to Mexico - there are LOTS of posts about Almanza there.

Yes- I had surgery with DR Almanza.

Any questions just ask. :-)

May 15, 2012 wa my surgery day.

I was 254 lbs 4 days pre op.

250 day of surgery-

Got to my goal of 150 in 6 months.

I'm 110 lbs down and staying at 144 lately.

I don't think it matters what Dr you choose, I think it matters how successful you want to be and how serious you are about a COMPLETE LIFEstyle change :-)

Good luck in your choice!

Missy

I felt 100% safe- 100% of the time- but I was SO glad to have my husband there to take care if me after.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
