New surgery date Feb 20th

[trulyamazingtoo 127]

Anyone getting sleeved on or around that time? I am going to Tijuana alone and Dr Almanza will be my surgeon.

You should reconsider - Keep doing your research. Last few months Dr. Almanza has had six deaths and two dozen in the hospital after his surgeries and he doesn't care. He's running the proverbial butcher shop.

@@Dallasj I heard about that lady and that story is old. I have talked to lots of people who went and were fine.

The old Almanza a couple of years ago is not the same, today. In the last quarter he's had six deaths and two dozens with leaks/nicks in the hospital (that's what happens when you do 20 plus people a day). All I'm saying there are better doctors Mexico and highly advise to do more research. For people who never had this type of surgery think that post-op vomiting and nausea, Frankenstein stitching and being herded as cattle is all normal, but it's not. Keep in mind, my uncle had a sleeve and didn't have any of those thing, vomiting, nausea or Frankenstein stitching. My only advise to you is buy post-op medical insurance if you do go to Almanza for a peace of mind..best of luck to you and God Bless!

@@Dallasj where did you get this information from?

Ok, well I pray that all goes well. I already paid and have everything squared away. I have my fingers crossed. It is a little too late at this point.

I'm a little curious about why you chose Almanza in the first place. I too pray that everything goes well for you.

If you paid weight loss agents with a credit card, all you have to do to get 100% of your money back, do three things. Call your credit company to DO A BACKCHARGE and say three things, 1. International transaction for a SERVICE, 2. Card not present. 3. NOT PCI compliant for the documents weight loss agents had you sign (that stuff is bogus).

I hope you do this a find another doctor because there way better doctors in Mexico. You should never gamble or risk your life with an elective surgery because it should never have to be that way.

I didn't save any money by choosing him. Quinones was cheaper

[trulyamazingtoo 127]

I have questioned some of the reviews that I have read myself. I am goimg with him for other financial reasons. He was not my first or 2nd choice but I feel he is qualified to do the job. I know that if they ask me to get my surgery the day before, I will opt out and wait until the next morning. I have researched him and feel that I will be ok. I didn't get to pick the surgeon who gave me my surgeries in the US and I didn't question their knowledge or experience. He has done about 10,000 surgeries. Yes there has been some complications but a very small percentage for the number of surgeries that he has performed.

My coworker went to dr almanza last February and she has lost 90 lbs. she looks great.

From time to time sales people for MX surgeons (who have very few, if any, prior posts) start trashing other doctors on the various online WLS forums.

This is one of those times.

(yawn)
