Hi everyone,

I have been reading many posts. Some good, some bad. In less than 2 weeks I will have VSG in Mexico.

I am tired of not being able to do the things I use to. A few years ago I was informed I was hypothyroid. Couldn't figure out why I felt sluggish and couldn't keep up bike riding, playing tennis, and so on. Thanks to the meds I have gained weight and no matter how healthy I eat, or how much I exercise, the weight does not come off that easy. My knee is such a problem at times. I get up and feel like it just wants to pop.

I spoke with my doctor and I asked her what she thought about this surgery. Since she said it was not her field, she gave me info that I could attend meetings and learn more.

I heard of Dr. Almanza through someone I met on vacation. She had him and filled me in on her experience. I contacted Melissa (Patient Coordinator for Dr. Almanza) and she has been wonderful answering all my emails everytime I email her....which has been alot. I am nervous but excited also. I will post my experience once I have it done. Can't wait to be lighter and able to get back to my old life! :thumbup:

Best of luck to you! Look forward to reading about your experience.

Congratulations! The two weeks go by fast....at least they are for me.

Hey good luck!! I too am scheduled with him for June 15 so please let me know how it goes

Congrats on getting your date scheduled. Best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery. You'll do fabulous ! ! !

Best of Luck, and I'm right behind you "5-24-10" . It will all be worth it after all......:thumbup:
