doing great Francisco, have lost almost 35 lbs so far, am eating most everything now, still not exercising yet, we have had such a cold spell - foolish to go outdoors to walk even. But am doing a lot more housework and babysitting, making enought to pay down my loan, 9 more months to go! We have a new world Gym opening near us here in February, maybe by then I will be in good enough shape to take advantage of the facilties. I tried getting in contact with Joseph lately but he has changed his email account so it was returned. Have you ever heard from him? Had a couple of notes from Stephen, he sounds real busy with his schooling and family life. Hope he checks in again soon! Any more pictures? I will get some taken at Christmas time with my daughter's family and will post them then.

I had surgery on 9/24/2009. I took some pics 24 hours after and four days after. You can see the very nice staff who took care of me -

Thanks to all for your warm welcome. Ten days after surgery, and I've already lost 18 Lbs. I am very pleased with this decision. Now I am trying to adapt to new serving portions. My plate is smaller than my younger daughter :-)

I had my surgery 5 days ago (9/24/09) and everything went really nice. I had several positive surprises: An excellent experience from Dr. Almanza. He has already done more than four hundred sleeves this year 2009. I met with two people who got the sleeve two days before me and five who had it done while in my recovery. He is also very calm and dedicated more than enough quality time to me, explaining everything. The clinic was nice. No frills, but nice. It's like a mini hospital, with one operating room and four of five patient rooms. The nurses there (Maggie & Veronica) were very professional and nice to me. I spent two days at the clinic, and those are the hardest as you have some pain when you move your body from the laparoscopyc gases and so. The guest house is a very good idea. Instead of going to a hotel, where I would have been hiding any signs of surgery, the common areas downstairs are an excellent way to spend the time, sharing experiences with other patients, and staffed with two persons, one cooking and taking care of everything and one nurse in care of your medications, cures, and anything you need. The rooms are nice, and all of them with satellite tv. Not to forget that they picked me up from San Diego airport, and there are always two brand new micro vans with driver at our service, driving us from the house to the x-ray facility or the clinic, and even went to do some shopping on the las day. I speak Spanish, but most of the staff speaks English, and there is always someone around who speaks English. You have free phone to the US, and they are US customer oriented. Overall a very nice experience. I'll try to share some of the pictures I took they day after surgery and four days after surgery, with some friends at the guesthouse.
