    Default Considering Dr.Almanza?

    Incase my insurance won't pay for the sleeve,which with my luck they won't,I have been looking into other options and the only ones I could really afford are in Mexico...Has anyone had theirs with Dr.Almanza? How did it go? My mom is very apprehensive about going to Mexico to get it done,so I need some proof to show her it isn't that bad,haha.

    Hi Brit
    Dr. Almanza done my surgery one year ago on the 14th of this month. Everything want great. There were 4 of my family had it done that day and in August I went back with 2 more of my sister in laws and they had it done. We are all very happy and a lot healthier. If you have more questions you can PM me. I will gladly send you my phone number if you would like to talk about it.

    He did mine also. I'm so happy with my success. It was quick and it was a great experiEnce for me.I've lost as expected with an easy recovery. I've got the name of a great hotel in san diego. And the number of an awsome and honest cab driver. He's used to dealing with almanzas paitents. After my surgery I stayed an extra 5 days in san diego. Went to the zoo and got a nice tour from larry the cab driver. He was on time everytime. Just let him know u got the number from this site and he will hook u up!good luck. I went to almanza cuz I got sick of jumping hoops for my insurance company for 18 months I had it. Good luck PM me for the names and numbers!

    I used him, too. All went well. I am returning in July for a tummy tuck with Dr Lara.

    I am living proof that surgery with Dr. Almanza is successful and safe. I started preop diet at 370lbs., today I weigh 194lbs. I felt safe and was satisfied with the surgery and service I received at the clinic and guesthouse. Just keep an open mind as it is a foreign country and customs can be different. I do feel the staff really tries hard to please the patients as their livliehood depends on it. I would definitely do it all over again in Mexico.
