I'm a newby to posting but have been reading all of your post and they have been very helpful. I want to set my surgery date but have a question for those that have had thier"s done by Dr. Alamaza,

Does he stitch over the staples?

I'm not one of his patients, but here's a long thread with information about Almanza, the facility, and a lot of patients have posted their experiences in this thread. It's an extremely long thread, the last few pages have the most recent experiences listed.

Thanks Tiffkin,

I read that thread and found some very good info but nothing that answered this question. Hope one of Dr. Almanza's previos pt.'s will chime in with the info. Will be scheduling surgery date for Jan 22 or 23.
