Dr. Almanza placed nylon stitches on my incisions, they are small. I know of some people that have had either the dissolving or non dissolving stitches. I am wishing Dr. would of used the dissolving. I did call Dr. Almanza's office & they said it was an easy removal by my Dr. here... just have to find the one Dr. that is willing to touch someone else's work..

I don' have to go to TJ for the fills, I can go here for the fills although I probably will go back for the fills due to the cost $40 in TJ vs almost $300 here!! I am hoping not to have to go back to TJ for the stitches....

Hello all, I was just recently banded in Tijuana Mx, by Dr. Almanza. Everything is going great so far, the surgery went just fine. I had my surgery on 4/12/12 and am ready to have the stitches removed. I am not necessarily wanting to go back to TJ just for removal of stitches. Does anyone know where I can go get my stitches removed in Southern CA? I have called around to different doctors but they are not willing to do it, I went to urgent care today & the doctor there was not willing to either because he said they are plastic surgery stitches?? Any info on where I can go would be very helpful (primarily in the IE) Thanks all.
