has anyone had a mini gastric bypass from dr almanza
thats about the time I was looking at going around the end of feb what are you going to get... I read about the infections but that is a concern where ever u go right I mean just have to pay attention an maybe ask someone to wash there hands I speak enough spanish for that.... thanks for you response....
The MGB is the sleeve plus the addition of re-routing the intestine similar to the RNY. So, you get a larger stomach pouch than the RNY but still the malabsorption benefits. A lot of research has shown that the MGB has the same benefits of weight loss as the RNY, but there are fewer side effects. I think anyone considering either the RNY or the VSG should seriously look into the MGB.

HoLLykim, i'm not trying to beat a dead horse, but i noticed that you specifically respond to everyones concern about infections, so my question to you is do you realize that sutures are placed internally on your stomach insides?it is a fact they had a month of infections from what appeared to be some compromised sutures. That issue was treated seriously,as was appropriate.
it appears to me that you are,in fact,trying to beat a dead horse.
I am having the VSG. The escorts will pick you up at the San Diego airport and drive you across the border. They stay with you the whole time you are outside the facility. Check out the profile of

Good luck!

I just got back yesterday from having surgery with Dr. Almanza. I had a revision from band to sleeve. Just from the amount of research I have done, I would get the sleeve. So far so good, I had a tough surgery because the band had done a number on my stomach, but each day I feel better.
Good luck!
