• Surgeon: Dr. Almanac

I started my journey in May, 2012. I researched several Doctors and I chose Dr. Almanza over all Doctors including Doctors in USA. Even though I have health insurance with my employer that approved my surgery, I decided to pay out of packet and have my surgery with Dr. Almanza. Here is my story, I have been overweight for over 15 years. My weight prior to surgery was 230 pounds, surgery date June 7, 2012 and today August 15, 2012 I weight 192 pounds. I made the best decision by going with Dr. Almanza, from the first visit to the Jerusalem Hospital I felt like I was family to them. Dr. Almanza and the whole team were beyond my expectation, their care was excellent. I didn't have any complications and today I feel like I am in my 20's again.

Thank you Dr. Almanza and Team. You all are the best!
