I have spoken with Weight loss agents, I recommend you call and speak with them. There are no deaths. There are a few past disgruntled employees spreading vicious rumours. My friend had surgery with Dr Almanza, and is Doing amazing. I am scheduled on August 31 with him also. My friend is still in contact with several of the people that had surgery the same day she did and they are all, doing well. I am going to leave this site, as I feel they want to promote their own dr's and it's not really about patients talking to patients. Facts are being misconstrued. Call weight loss agents and talk about your concerns! Best of luck!

My friend was the one who went into cardiac arrest and a coma after being given a antibiotic not used in the United States . She has since passed away as of two months ago. So yes there is a death related to Dr Almanza. I'm so glad your friend is doing amazing. I'm so sorry my friend had to die trying to get healthy.

I will be going to Mauricio Gutierrez 8/29. I personally know 5 people (3 that are medical professionals) that have been sleeved through him and they rave about the clinic and the way that they were treated.

      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.
