Choosing a Dr
I considered both physicians along with Aceves and chose Dr Rodriguez for my April VSG. The deciding factors for me were proximity to the east coast (in order to have shorter travel time after surgery) and staying in a full service hospital for the duration of my stay. I frequent the VSG board and all have very positive things to say about the recovery houses, but my family was more comfortable with me being in a hospital.
Good luck!

How did your surgery go? Would you recommend them after the surgery. Also how were the facilities. I'm trying to make up my mind to go with Dr Almanza. I guess everyone is afraid of the unknown. What were your thoughts after you first got there.
Hope everything is going fine for you after your surgery.
