Surgeon Testimonial

Mario Alberto Almanza-Reyes
I only saw and spoke to Dr. Almanza for about 10 minutes before my surgery and never again after so it's kind of hard to give a review for him. The surgery went well and I am doing well almost a year later. I did have a pretty severe infection (serratia) immediately after surgery which I feel was due to pretty poor after care while at the "hospital" and recovery house in Mexico. (I now have thousands of dollars in doctor/hospital bills due to this complication.)

I was told I would speak with a nutritionist, but that didn't happen. The whole nutritional plan is a .pdf file that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

I'm glad I had the surgery and I DO recommend the VSG as a weight loss surgery... but I would not recommend this surgeon, especially if he is still in business with Betancourt. Save your money and go elsewhere. The savings are NOT worth the possible complications.

Quickie Update

The scale is still moving in the right direction. So yay for that! It would probably move faster if chocolate covered raisins didn't exist. Otherwise, not a lot to update. I start my new job tomorrow evening. People have asked me if I'm nervous or excited or whatever... my answer is: I just hope it doesn't suck.
