Be safe......your trip will be great...I believe they have taken all necessary precautions because its too much on the line...

This is great to know.

Fendo...please do....inquire what are the precautions they have taken..instead of giving the same generalized answer...what have they really done?...thanks in advance..and I pray that God bless your coming and your going. I pray that your procedure be blessed and your recovery as well. May God bless every angle of your experience.

Thank-you newlife2011... there has been a great peace that has come over me since I have made the decision.....I was blown away by the whole "robbery" notion..the sad part is that there is such a desperation for this tool...that we are willing to overlook some facts...I admit I over looked the infection rate and leak problems......but this I cannot sacrifice my recovery...I like the fact I am in a hospital...being checked on constantly...I like others..initially wanted Dr. Aceves but I got swayed by the pricing....I have researched and researched and researched some more...and I am not knocking anyone's decision to go with Almanza...but I cannot...I don't want to be laid in the house...in a room....and someone comes in and holds me gunpoint....I am worth more than overlooking that! I am worth soo much more..and even if they have taken security precautions......its not for me...but I pray the safety in the recovery house,not for me,but for those who have no other options or are willing to overlook it....

I have also made a decision to go with Dr. Aceves...its just the better choice form me I am excited....

I just read the post "attention Almanza patients" This is freigtening...it has been confirmed through a coordinator! I had my heart and my surgery date..but how can I go peacefully...even if they are saying they have taken care of the problem! One thing I am not is a basher...i did the research for myself and was elated go through with my decision...I RESPECT everybodys opinion! I have heard about leaks..infection...and other aspects of the surgery from all drs. But robbery!!!!!! This again has been confirmed by a coordinator...and that is enough for me....There are some whose only option is Dr. Almanza..be safe and stay prayerful..I wish you a great safe success..and I pray all goes well.....again we have to do what is best for us...and that is what I am going to do...

I was really praying about this....and God has confirmed my prayers.....I am going with Dr. Aceves. I wish others well who decide to go with Dr. Almanza. Be safe and prayerful. I know that this is a surgery that is needed..but I don't even want to go to the recovery house..thinking what is going to happen? I desire success and peace!

I cannot wait...thanks for sharing!

I am glad all is well....
