I have spoken with Weight loss agents, I recommend you call and speak with them. There are no deaths. There are a few past disgruntled employees spreading vicious rumours. My friend had surgery with Dr Almanza, and is Doing amazing. I am scheduled on August 31 with him also. My friend is still in contact with several of the people that had surgery the same day she did and they are all, doing well. I am going to leave this site, as I feel they want to promote their own dr's and it's not really about patients talking to patients. Facts are being misconstrued. Call weight loss agents and talk about your concerns! Best of luck!

My friend was the one who went into cardiac arrest and a coma after being given a antibiotic not used in the United States . She has since passed away as of two months ago. So yes there is a death related to Dr Almanza. I'm so glad your friend is doing amazing. I'm so sorry my friend had to die trying to get healthy.

I will be going to Mauricio Gutierrez 8/29. I personally know 5 people (3 that are medical professionals) that have been sleeved through him and they rave about the clinic and the way that they were treated.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
