I'm referring to the surgeon affiliated with the OCC. OCC and Hospital Angeles appear to be the only two places I can get comfortable with but everyone should do their own due diligence on surgeons with a health bit of skeptiscm regarding their marketing claims so they can make the best decision for their bodies and future.

hamigirl710, he has done over 10,000 surgeries over 30 years. Even if this unsubstantiated post were true he has an excellent record. Surgery is inherently risky. There are many fine surgeons in mexico including Corvala.< /p>

I was just sleeved on Feb 19th by Almanza. I waa scared because I heard a few negative stories right before I was going. I prayed about it and decided to go anyway. I have a great experience. I was well taken care of and had no pain. I am down 14 pounds as of this morning. I would do it all over again of I had to. I have nothing bad to say and I am a nurse. I paid $4499 but believe he is running a special.

Hey it was starting at $3299 last year. They have 4 levels of pricing based upon surgeon. I can save you research time Freddie, none of the 4 would come close to making your list. There are recent advocates who had positive surgical experiences but 2 of the surgeons cost even less than Almanza.

There is another sub 4 K surgeon who recently popped up through another Medical Tourism company.

They do provide a niche for folks that want a low price surgeon and seem to be providing good care but hey to each his her own.

It's all about supply and demand and finding the best fit for each individual.

This guy is a coordinator for a different TJ plan,and surgeons he is trying to take business away from bariatricpal! So take what he says with a grain of salt and remember he is being paid by a group of surgeons!

I don't think Rocky is a case coordinator. He consistently recommends several unaffiliated competing surgeons in mexico.

Thank goodness! I'm having surgery with him in May, already paid for the surgery and I've been reading lots of negative things about him. But I have faith, I'm blessed and know everything will work out well for me like it did for you!!!

Please forgive me, but why would you still proceed to book your surgery with him after you have read many negative things? Please reconsider.

Well, this post worries me a bit. I've already paid for my plane ticket and the surgery in full. What do I do now? I don't feel so confident going to Dr Almanza

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
