    I had my surgery with Dr Almanza on Monday the 20th best thing I have ever done. Gas sucks but it does get better. BrandyJean what part of Oregon are you from? I'm also from Oregon.

    I feel I am making the right decision, just having a slight amount of anxiety still, which I know will go away after the surgery. I am flying into San Diego early Wednesday. There are two of us flying in and will be picked up from the airport about noon.

    Thank you for liking my post regarding Almanza. I see your surgery is coming up. I hope we can stay in touch. I see that you're a nurse and with all your experience in the medical field, I'm happy to see that you've chosen Almanza as well.

A rough 3 months

by Rnvegas on 11-02-2015 at 08:12 AM
My husband and I chose to gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico. For my portion of the surgery everything went smoothly and I am able to eat what I like (obviously much less). My energy is good, no hair loss, and I weigh 193 Pds down from 247.

My husband had gastric sleeve as well and seemed to be right on track with me. At 7 days post op he developed a fever of 103.2 heart rate of 160, and the most severe left shoulder pain he could bear.

I rushed him to the ED and

Surgery was on 7/23

by Rnvegas on 07-27-2015 at 04:48 PM
Well I arrived home from having my gastric sleeve last night. The medical care that I received in Mexico was similar to care in the US. I was well informed the entire time and had access to nurses. The first 24 hours where rough but that is true after any surgery. Today I am feeling pretty good. I would say my energy level is at 75% prior to what it was before surgery. I am happy with my decision and would do it again in a heart beat.

Two weeks until preop diet

by Rnvegas on 07-04-2015 at 04:48 PM
Hi I wanted to start a blog mostly because it will help be see how far I have come in this journey. I start the preop diet on July 18. Surgery is in Mexico with Dr Almanza on 7/23. I am excited for this and of course slightly nervous. I am confident in my decision but mostly nervous of how my life is going to change.

My husband and I go out to eat several times a week...going to have to go for a walk instead! I am more nervous of figuring out this next phase when I haven't
