    Thank you Kondakor1!!!

    I'm so happy to hear that you're scheduled. I never thought that I'd actually be one of the lucky people that would ever get a surgery like this. It has been the best thing that has EVER happened to me. However, as I got closer to my surgery date... I started to question what I was doing. As, now I know, it seems everyone does. lol

    If this happens, remember when you made the decision. Remember what caused you to start down this path to your LIFE. Remember how confident you were in your decision. And come on here... this place helped me through tons of different stuff!

    Also, after my surgery, I was SUPER depressed. For the first two weeks and intermittently for about a month or two after I would think 'WHAT HAVE I DONE!? I would do anything to just eat all the food in the world!' Which basically reinforced the fact that the surgery was the ONLY way I was ever going to lose weight. So, just be mindful of that 'stage' if it comes. I NEVER expected that... and I feel like it might have been a little easier had I seen it coming.

    Everyone's experience is different though! I'm SO excited for you!!!! This surgery didn't change my life... This surgery saved my life. . Which is really weird because I was lucky enough to have a happy and full life before the surgery. I never thought it could get EVEN CLOSE to this much better!!! I've never felt better and I've never felt more like myself!

    Stay focused and good luck!!!!!

    I actually choose Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Surgery with Weight Loss Agents because a friend referred me. Her daughter had it done there as well as her husband. Both had no problems and would have it done again in a heart beat.

    Hi, I am very happy with my choice. The coordinators have all been very responsive and answered all my questions.

    However, I think when you go to Mexico you have to do a little more research and get post op care set up. I have googled post op diets with better examples/list and met with my PCP to make sure he would do bloodwork, etc.

    Tons of people on this site go with Dr. Almanza and I would say 99% have had a great experience with no complications. I did hear of two issues recently, one was a leak 3weeks later and the other was a nicked spleen. It scared me at first, but when I searched the site there were very few other complications, all were minor. I also found plenty of other references of other surgeons, including American, nicking spleens. So, it's just a risk with the surgery, not the surgeon.

    I hope I didn't scare you, just want to share all the info I have. feel free to ask me anything. I will post updates as I have the sugery, so certainly watch for them.
