Congratulations and welcome to VST! You will find it very helpful and uplifting to be here. I was sleeved Dec. 6, 2012 and I am still a newbie here but I have gained some knowledge and found comfort from the people here. I live in a small town where there is no access to support groups so this is my support. It has been very helpful. Good luck on your journey and remember, don't get discouraged - get busy and enjoy life!

Glad to hear that your feeling great! The process of healing is much easier when you have the right attitude.

congrats and good luck & as Lisa said you will find great support here xx

I was going to use dr Almanza because I friend of mine did but I was turned off by the recovery house and strip mall clinic. What was your experience with those? How many surgeries did he do on your day?

What I can I say I had a very good experience there is nothing to worry about it is a very small clinic but very clean I really liked the way they took care of me.. That day dr almanza did ten surgeries ... By the way I was the first one. I really recommend it...
