    My mom had surgery with Dr. Almanza in January and WOW.. She has lost 85 lbs and looks fabulous! I am thankful that I have been able to see and understand her experiences through this process. Her wounds did get a bit infected but they did heal with constant cleaning, sterilization and another round of antibiotics from her PCP. She failed to start supplementing her diet with vitamins and BIOTIN so her hair did start falling out. Once she got on the vitamins and increased her protein, that stopped. She has learned the hard way not to allow herself to go without eating for too long. This makes her hungry and causes her to eat to fast which leads to nausea and vomiting. Her new rule is 4 bites. Wait 1-2 minutes between each bite. A little hot clear soup about 10 minutes before eating also helps her digest better. Just thought I would share what she has shared with me. I can't wait to start my own journey!
