Is there something I need to particularly research on Dr. Maria Almanza? I have only found good information so far. I NEED to know. Thanks.

Hope everything goes well with your surgery and you have a speedy recovery.

Ok... thanks for the info. I just called his office and the nurse said that it would not be possible to do everything needed in 5 weeks. As I go home every four months, they said they could start this time and do the surgery the next time I am home in December. I want it now! I want to be thinner in December, not just getting started. O'well, guess I will have to keep searching. I'm glad that you are having great success with your plan! Thanks again for the info!

Dr. Parrish is in Alexandria. I'm not sure about your situation, but he was very flexible with me. My job requires a lot of travel, and he cleared me to return to work after a week off. I had to board a plane 10 days after surgery. He does schedule follow ups, but not very often. His staff was great about working with my schedule for everything.

He uses a surgical center with overnight facilities, that he is a partner of. I got great care. I stayed one night.

I have had a great experience, so far. I have lost over 70 lbs since feb. 7th.

Hi! Of course I would love to have a partner. I'm 38 years old and taking this journey alone. I fly in on the 7th and having surgery on the 8th. I have been researching, listen to podcasts, YouTube video blogs, and support groups. I would love to have a buddy! My name is Cindy and I'm from Indiana.
