Thank you

I scared price is good $3500 reviews is ok. I don't know . Thank you

There are many people in this site who've been sleeved by Dr Almanza...this site is primarily VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) patients, but many have or will get revisions from their bands to VSG. Most on this site have not liked their lapbands: a few have had such awful health problems and have gotten their bands removed. The prices in Mexico --lately-- for the sleeve surgery is $4500-7500. I have not heard of anyone doing a sleeve for that cheap. If you're interested in getting the lap band, I dont think you'll find many people on this site that are pleased with the lap band...hence the reason they've gotten a revision or will be sleeved. That doesn't mean there arent people happy with their lapbands...That being said, I've heard good and bad things about Dr Almanza....GOOD LUCK!

I'm 2 weeks full liquids, 2 weeks puréed, 4 weeks soft food and then on to regular food.

It's crazy how many differences of doctors' opinions there are on this!

That's exactly the diet I am on. One more week of liquids, then I get to start pureed food! Is it crazy that I can't wait!! :) Not hungry just want something other than liquids!!

They are all quite different. Although the food I eat has to be smashed up in my plate and then I make sure I chew really well!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
