    Default Sleeve with Dr Almanza July 2, 2014

    Hello,
    I am scheduled for my sleeve with Dr Almanza on July 2 2014. I have struggled with my weight all my life and was diagnosed with High blood pressure about 5 years ago, Pre diabetic syndrome 8 years ago, and PCOS 10 years ago. Most recently I tried loosing weight with Qysmia. Which worked while I was taking it. But you cant be on that type of medicine forever and when I stopped the pounds crept back on. I also suffered alot of crazy side effects including mood swings and constipation from the medicine. SO i decided to have surgery. I have been researching this since 2012 and now I know in my heart it is time.

    Hello Dear,

    There should be three other ladies that will be there for surgery on the same day! With Dr. A, I will be the fourth coming in the same day of surgery.
    Can't wait to meet you!

    Take Care

    I'm scheduled for June 30th with Dr Almanza. Maybe we'll run into each other at some point. I'm so ready to have this done. June 30th seems like years away. I'm so tired of constantly fighting this impossible fight. I can lose but I can't keep it off. Hopefully this will help. Karen

    Yes I agree... Feels like it is going to take so long to get there. Where are you coming from? Mind me asking your age and weight?
