    Default My surgery is scheduled!!

    Hi everyone. I am scheduled to have my VSG by Dr. Almanza in June. I am really excited and nervous. I did a lot of research as most of you probably did, and I don't want to question my decision, but I am beginning to question my choice in what doctor and location I chose. I don't want to get cold feet!!!

    My husband and I both went to dr. Almanza and we would do it again in a heartbeat. I don't have any regretts. Don't second guess your choice jst ask any questions you can think of and people who have gone can give you there honest opinions. Their may be people who didn't have as good of an experience as I had so you can get the good and the bad. I have heard people complain about the cooking that they do at the recovery house saying they cook all day just for the workers in the house and that irritated them. But they actually cook for several businesses that's why they cook all day. They will even give you broth if they are making it. They also clean alot at the recovery house so the smell of the cleaning products did get to some people but I loved the fact that everything was so clean.

    Everything you read above is true! I loved it, and my mama is actually headed down the end of May... I would do it again in a heart beat.

    Currently doing my research for surgery with Dr. A in Mexico. Had lap band surgery about 5 years ago and have not been successful with it. Now considering a DS in Mexico b/c it's going to cost $40.000 to do it here. Any input will be helpful with my decission making.

    Oh... I plan on staying in the hotel just for the privacy really. I am not worried about the recovery house, I mean it's not a hospital, people should know what to expect with that. I am sure the people who work there do the best they can. I am worried about infections and leaks and the doctor not really being a "surgeon". Lol. Everyone has these thoughts/fears right?
