  1. While I appreciate everyones comments, just to add my own experience in ... I had my first surgery with Dr Almanza in 2015 and everything was fine. My incisions did not get infected nor did I have any other complications. I just had surgery again 1/17/19 and, so far, everything is good. My incisions even look better than before. I have no signs of infection nor any other complications. I do feel for the people who had bad experiences but mine were great.

  11. Thanks for the information but its a little too late for me. I used weightlossagents but as a nurse and having bariatric surgery before, I didn't ask any questions. I had revision surgery (lapband to sleeve) April 7, 2015 and had a great experience. ☺️

  16. I had surgery on april 7, 2015 with dr almanza. everything was fine and everyone was nice. it was nothing fancy but not bad in any way. and im doing great, no complications ????
  17. thats true about the infection... i was under the impression w almanza that we would be in the hosp 2 days but it didnt happen
  18. i understand completely. i thought it was weird only 1 night but thankfully im okay ????
  19. i understand if a company doesnt want to work w him but i had no problems and i understood everything he told us in English.... and im a nurse ????
  20. i feel fine. no nausea since i have been home. liquids going down okay. i just need to drink more water!! you'll be fine. i was scared when i went down there but its fine. after you get released from the hospital you go to the hotel and nurses check on you twice a day (or more if needed) and another doctor comes around to check on you. ????
