    I had my surgery on 12/4 with Dr. A. My surgery was supposed to be on 12/5 but they did at least 4 of us a day early. Our choice. Starting the very next day they were concerned with the concentration of the fluid in my drain. The hotel Dr. stated that they might have to go back in and see what the issue is. I thought that was OK since I had an extra day in Mexico to recover. The next 2 days they were still concerned but did nothing. They ended sending me home with my drain. I spent the first 2 days back in the states in the hospital because I had a hematoma on my sleeve(inside of me). Thousands of dollars later I'm doing great and have lost 35 pounds in three weeks. The night before we left Mexico I requested my medical records. I was told it would take 72 hours. I've requested them a couple more times and the hospital had several people trying to get the records and to talk to Dr. A. No luck. As I say, I'm 3 weeks post op and they are ignoring me. Outside of the lack of medical records I feel they owe me at least a partial refund for not completing their job. If they hadn't made such a big deal about it I would just assume they didn't know about it and probably would have helped me if they had known. They problem here is that they knew there was a problem the entire time but never followed through on fixing the issue.

    I do know of many other people that have used Dr. A and they did not experience the same issues. Just be careful because what might seem like a deal may or may not end up to be the case. Buyer beware!

    Oh No!!! You aren't at all the first person I've read about having problems with Dr. Almanza I think he pushes himself to do as many surgeries a day as he can in order to bring in the $$$ and that's when mistakes are made... I'm all for a great deal, but if I saw the line of people waiting for their surgery, plus some of the next day's group being done in one day, I'd more than likely just wait to go the next day as scheduled. I hear he's a great doctor and even paid the $500 deposit, but ended up requesting a refund, sadly.

    Did you ever get a response or the medical records verifying the surgery and procedures? I'm just curious. Hope this isn't too old.
