Hi nune,

If you look up at the top you can search for "almanza" there are several people on these boards who have used him. That should give you some input on him.

Good luck in your search!

Thank you

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

Well I'm one week post-op today. Today hasn't really been a good day, I just feel blah and my tummy feels FULL!! Yesterday was a good day, walked got 85/95 grams of Protein and almost all my Fluid. So I wonder if I am paying for that today. My first follow up appointment is tomorrow so we shall see what happens. Still giving myself Lovenox injections for another 5 days. I switched to Flintstones Vitamins because the ones from the doctors office makes me sick!! I am taking my chewable Iron which doesn't seem to upset my tummy.

Anyway...I hope for everyone that was sleeved today it went well. And good luck to all the soon to be sleevers!!!

Btw....I am not feeling hungry, but I am so ready to have real food (even if it is pureed) and not liquids!!!
