Sam, I'm sure you've probably already tried this, but I put a lemon wedge in my water, and it makes it easier to take.  It doesn't hit the stomach like lead!

I also went to Dr. Almanza  ( on 6/30 ). I was very pleased with the staff and the care I received. I did not have the gas or the nausea, and I was out the day after surgery shopping. I have no complaints. Every need I had was met in a timely manner. I will be happy to share the details of my experience with anyone who is interested.

And Sandy... Don't waste your time. It's not worth it.

Yes Melissa.  You are the voice of reason!  There is no getting through to someone like her.  It's just very frustrating for me because I see the people that are suffering from obesity, need help and are on a tight budget.  Then they get scared off from Mexico all together because of people like her.  She is doing a disservice to all Mexican surgeons and killing people that will choose not to undergo affordable surgery in Mexico that would have saved their lives.
I havent been on this website in a long while but its not real shocking to see that this drama is still playing out with the defending of Dr. Almanza and the Betancourt clinic- and I couldnt disagree more with you Sandy.... MWG is NOT doing a "disservice" You can say things about her approach being ruthless and cutting, laced with barbs, agressive, argumentative, ummmmm yeah you can even say she is down right relentless and even wicked in her approach- to possibly save peoples lives from using this place and Dr.- whats wrong with that though?
I guess being that you work for them you would find her approach most offensive.
The question would be why are you still working for a group that is so controversial?
I mean seriously, I know the job market is tough but W.T.H. do you not see that the blood is on your hands as well?
Really Sad for you Sandy. I hope and pray that people will see through to the center of you and your quest for the almighty dollar.

Thanks for posting your story in such detail. I'm sorry you had such a rough time! I woke up from surgery and wondered if I even had surgery. I was walking all over outside because I was so bored the day after surgery. It just goes to show us how eveyone reacts differently.

One thing I am wondering, does Dr. Almanza speak English?
