    We met him after we were ready for surgery. He came in and introduced himself and said what would happen then left and we never saw him again. He was in our room 5 minutes tops. Was put to sleep before I even saw the operating room.

    I am going through weightlossagents and they said it was smaller than they use in the United States.

    Well... this question was directly posed to Dr. Almanza by a patient that was getting Re-Sleeved. Apparently she had the procedure over a year ago and the size for which was regulated at that time was 60+. Dr. Almanza states that the approved size at this time is 32 and that is what he performs. A patient inquired as to the possibility of making it smaller as a preventative measure for stretching... He stated NO he could not ethically do that and that medically the standardized size was 32 which is approximately a loss 85% of the stomach mass. Now upon previous consultations with US practitioners, they state that will only extract 75% of the stomach mass. So with Dr. A you still come out ahead.
