  1. I originally posted this question several times. I am now 14 months out from when I had my surgery. Everything went great. I was scared by the first impression of the clinic but must say it was clean. They was never a minute I didn't see someone cleaning. You couldn't leave the restroom without someone going in behind you and cleaning it. I was treated extremely well and tended to often. I was lucky enough to be able to have my loved one stay with me the entire time except during surgery. I paid extra to have a private room where he could stay and I paid extra to be the first patient of the day. I have had no complications and weigh 135 today!! I love it and don't regret it one bit. I was the best and healthiest life change I have done for myself. I love the way I feel and the way I look. I am heathy and feel great. I can eat whatever I want but in moderation of course, meaning small meals. With that being said I felt a sigh of relief when I was home and felt like I got thru without any problems. If I had to do it over again I would do it exactly the same cause it all went perfect for me. However if I was taking a friend or loved one I would recommend having it done in a hospital just in case. It was scary and I feel lucky to have come thru without any complications. He did an excellent job.

  5. Everything went great. Just super really thirsty and my throat hurts
  6. Ok I need some help. My surgery is Tuesday and I started my liquid diet yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I started feeling like my heart was palpating. I'm not sure what it is or could be. I don't feel overly nervous but I wonder if this is just anxiety? Anyone else experience this?

  14. Can anyone please tell me if Dr Almanza uses drains? And if so is that a common thing with other doctors?
