Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hi there realselfers, I decided to create another...

Hi there realselfers, I decided to create another blog for my upcoming Gastric Sleeve surgery. For those of you who has not followed me, I'm zaria63. I wanted to originally have a tt, bbl, and lipo done by the waiste slayers in the Dominican Republic. But unfortunately,life happens and things just didn't seem to work out. One of those many "life happenings", was the death if my mom. Another was realizing that I'm older and my body isn't the same.

I was once at my heaviest 316lbs. I went down to 245 within 9 months with just eating right and working out. That was 5 years ago. I'm now 279lbs @ 5'10. I ignored my PCP about checking into getting GS done because I felt as though I can lose weight on my own. Well, a year later, the scale still hasn't moved. Well at least not in the direction I wanted it to move. So, after hearing it recently from my GYN Dr. I decided to go for it. I'm a diabetic and I have High Blood Pressure. I'm praying that losing the weight will help me lose both of them as well. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on my journey to a better me. God Bless!

19 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOO!

Ok now realself, you're really getting under my skin! This will be my 4th and last time trying to post this blog because realself is in serious trip mode. I have 19 more days left before I'm sleeved..YAYYYYY!

I hope this photo post. I tried to post two photos but everytime I try to post it, realself kicks me off completely. So I will try to post at least one of them right now.

I've seen these cute somewhat sexy comic book theme sleepwear at Wal-Mart and I had to get them. I have a "Batgirl" and "Superwoman" theme gown. Notice, I did say sleepwear. I bet your bottom dollar that someone will be in the club wearing this as a dress when it's actually sleepwear...SMH! Anywho, they come in different sizes of course and the largest being a 3X. I usually wear a 3X or 22-24. I decided to buy a large instead. I took photos in them so that I can do a comparison pic later on. BTW, I don't plan on wearing them until I can fit them comfortably.

15 MORE DAYS!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!! ***singing my new favorite song from #EMPIRE*** "YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFULLLLLL"

Provider Review

Dr.Mario Almanza
Overall rating
Staff professionalism & courtesy
Payment process
Wait times

I really don't have much to say about Dr. Almanza. I met and seen him one time. He came in and introduced himself to group of us and explained the process, asked if we had any questions, took a photo and that was it. I didn't see him post-op at all. After care was through nurses in the hospital and hotel. The nurse is the one who removed our drain as well. I would recommend weightlossagents. I found Dr. Almanza through them. I give them 5 stars across the board! They answer all your questions in a timely manner, call and check up on you and everything else. As far as Dr. Almanza is concerned, I can only say that my surgery is successful. I can't really comment on anything else with him because like I said earlier, We've only seen him once.
