In my opinion, I would go with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I personally haven't read much on the other Garcia, but I've seen tons of good reviews on Fernando Garcia. good luck to you whichever one you decide to go with!

Dr. Aceves is the only Dr. that I can say I'd be 100% comfortable with. There are a few other doctors that I have considered, but questioned the hospital staff, etc. I've just decided to go with my gut and go with Aceves

I was around 145 up until I was about 20, then came the drinking and eating late at night. I put on about 70 pounds in a year. I've been fat ever since lol

Dr verboonen and my coordinator Sheri Burke were the same way! I have called, sent emails...nothing. Not one word. The last I've heard from them was when I got dumped off 6 hrs early at the hotel in San Diego in which I spent the day on the lobby couch because their weren't any rooms available. I really need to write a review on here.

Dr. Lopez did my surgery and that along with the care in the hospital was first rate. Abraham is a great guy. He mostly makes his money on tips and deserves them. Say hi to Abraham for me.
Good luck.

It would come and go from painful to I'm pretty sire I'm dieing over that week and a half.
Not all are painful. My blood clots were rare, apparently.
There was a fancy name for them but I threw away my discharge papers. I am pretty sore "mesenteric" (sp?) portal vein thrombosis was one. I mean I know it was but I'm not sore how you spell that.
Yeah. The drs here are less than smart it seems. One dr. Literally told me "it's heartburn, you just need to let your pouch heal". He refused to say sleeve. Even overheard him outside the door say she had (whisper) gastric bypass"
No idiot. I didn't.

I'm going to use Dr. Aceves hopefully this summer

Congrats! Which doc?

I'm saving, saving, saving so I can go to Dr. Aceves in June!! I have about $2,500 saved, just need $2,000 more. everyone pray that I can make it! If not, then hopefully no later than August. I'm getting so excited.

Yes, he's pretty expensive but I can't think of anyone else I'd entrust my life to other than him.

So, I'm out looking for a few cute maxi dresses to bring with me to Mexico this summer, and I'm in a depression now lol I hate shopping for clothes being fat. It really is getting to me. Just the depression alone is killing me. I just went and bought me some Water to drink at work today rather than running next door and getting a Coke. It won't hurt to try and go ahead and lose some weight now. I ended up gaining like 20 more pounds when I knew I was going to have WLS... food funerals I guess. Now I'm paying for it

Well, that's another thing, I'm going to Mexico to have it done. And again, she hasn't done any research on this so she's assuming how its going to be there. I know how it sounds, but it's completely safe to go there. I just can't get it through her head. But I guess you all are right, it doesn't matter. It's my body and I want to do this whether she supports me or not

Yes that are, I may not be as big but I have ALLLL the same feelings towards food as everyone on here - only diff is I don't want to waste anymore of my life and leave it till I'm older. Thanks but that photo has a lot of apps enhancing it haha x

I got into the low 200's a few years ago. I've been on and off diet pills for years (I'm a boxer and I've had to drop weight)... They are horrible and bad for you and are like a bandaid over the problem. I also know this tool isn't "permanent" but I love the idea of hunger not ruling my life. I have PCOD and I'm 35 this year. I met a guy over Christmas. I heard later he referred to me as "that fat chick" .... No one else will be touching my body (besides my wax lady) until post op. I'm not as big as some here but I've felt the same feelings and emotions as you. I've had "your stomach doesn't gross me out as much anymore" from a boyfriend. "You got fat" from an ex, said in front of a group of friends. I said "not fat voluptuous" he said "no fat". A stranger on a plane told me "I'd be more beautiful if I ate less" ... I have more but I won't bore you. This Christmas one was the last straw. I don't feel "fat" inside ... I want to be happy and confident again ... This yo-yoing has gone on sine about 20 yo - enough already! I'd rather die on the operation table trying, then go on like this! Parents are against Mexico but I know I'm in good hands and have all this support on here even if I don't have there's %100

Did he say a MINIMUM of 2 adult drinks (as in he wanted you to get drunk?) or a maximum? Hah

I'm so ready to get the drain out! Dr Aceves is so nice and personable. My mom, who was extremely skeptical about surgery on Mx, is impressed and pleased.
It may sound a bit silly but after all the research I've been doing on this when I met him it was almost like meeting a celebrity. Smh... Silly.

Good luck. I hope everything goes well for you. I'll be flying in on Sunday afternoon for my surgery on Monday.

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess,
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
