I am living the best days in my life!
Damn it why didn't I know about this 10 years ago! I was in my prime then, but now I'm 45 and looking HOT! (Well better than 3 months ago...LOL!)
Today I am 3 months out. I've had some good days and some not so good days. I would defintely recommend to Dr. Almanza. If it were not for him and his prices I wouldn't be here! I had an excellent experience and I don't think it could have been any better.... (Almanza haters please

This has been a tumultuous week to say the least. I didn't think I was going to make it a few times. Mentally, emotionally and most definitely physically! There have been some really bad days, bad days and ok days (the ok’s are improving to good days!) I know everyone here says just wait, it’ll get better, sounds like crap when you’re going through! But it actually does get better.
Don’t judge me, today was my first cup of real coffee….no protein (I’ll add it over the weekend….I

Ok...at around 525 am, this rumbling starts in my abdomen! I shifted on my couch (still the most comfortable place to sleep, and this was my first full nights sleep!) and then the rumbling starts again even louder and more severe. Well, finally I can't stand the pain and loud noises so I go into the kitchen and grab a greek yogart. I figure maybe if I eat one teaspoon really slow it will calm the monster. Yay!!! It worked. Had to have 2 teaspons for her to retreat so I could get dressed for

Today is a better day. I'm back to work, and I'm able to get in more liquids. I have even been able to sip some of my protein shake.
Ok here is the gross part.....I have noticed that my stool is crazy! When I "pass gas" I have a dark green liquid stool that looks like it has fibers in it....Then today there was blood with this green substance. I will go to the doctor if the blood doesn't subside. Anyone else experience this. (I did have gallbadder removed also)

I am so happy! Not much pain just soreness. Met some beautiful people. I will definitely keep up with them.
Now the real journey begins. I am so excited with my decision! Could not have asked for a better surgeon or staff. I am convinced having a positive attitude goes a long way! My experience has been beautiful.
No negatives at all. I would most definitely come back.
Day1 - flew in from Chicago, Oscar was there at 12:10. Drove us (I was with a couple
