"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."
