Anyone Getting Sleeved By Dr. Almanza On Sept 1St?

I'm going to Mexico on September first to get sleeved by Dr. Almanza. Just wondering if anyone else will be there that day too!

The incisions all look good! The only one that even hurts is where the drain was, and that was just taken out yesterday morning. :-)

Ok great u make me look forward to my surgery

Sorry for the late reply. I was offshore first thing this morning. I walked up to the desk clerk and asked if I could board first due to surgery and they fixed me up with a good seat by the window

Today is my one week surgerversary and I weighed yesterday (Fridays are my weigh days) and I was down 11.2 lbs since the morning of my surgery! And I lost a little over 5 lbs on the pre-op diet, so 16 lb all together! I'm pretty damn excited. I know it won't always be like that, but I'm happy for the jump start! I'm feeling really good and was actually already given the ok to eat purée. Thank you guys for your support :-)

I didn't say he didnt use the bougie, i said I didnt know if he did and never heard it mentioned so I am very very pleased to see here that he does. I am feeling absolutely perfect, no problems of any kind, so he definitely did something right :))

 

 

I am so happy for you Meg.. welcome to your new life :)

I must have misread again. Sorry lol this iphone gets to me sometimes

I was sleeved by Dr Almanza on Sept 5 and he used a boughie with me too. I believe his literature states that he does and indicates the size. I had a very good experience and was well taken care of. their communication can be a bit lax but I have no regrets and would do it again in a minute. made some great friends that i hope to maintain contact with, Most fun was a special shopping trip put together just for us to Ensenada and the blow hole ...it was awesome! yep not everyone felt like going but those of us who did enjoyed every minute of the tour.
