Hi,

I'm a newbie from Virginia. I'm 64 and ready to be a "normal"weight! I've been battling the weight since Jr. high. As a newly retired school teacher, I figure it's time for me to take care of me for a change. My BC/ BS of Va denied my surgery because of a special clause in our group insurance specifically excluding any weight loss surgery. I guess they are worried that all us teachers are fat and would all get the surgery and break the bank!

My Lapland surgery is scheduled for Friday. I will be self-paying in Mexico. My doctor is Mario Almanza at Jerusalem Hospital in Tiajuana. I have been researching the Lapland surgery and Dr. Almanza for months and am pretty comfortable with my choice, however I'd like to hear from others who know of this doctor.

Thanks!
