    April sleevers in mexico

    It's official I will be sleeved 4/25 Dr Garcia and I might be alone who else will be there? I live in San Diego so I'm doing same day surgery. So excited I thought I was going to postpone surgery longer due to the car accident I was in but I'm good!

    April sleevers?

    So sad but I'm going to postpone my surgery I was recently in a car accident and strained my back and neck. I have been taking a lot of ibuprofen and Norco so of course I need to heal from those injuries before I have surgery. So it may be late April or early May but I'm leaning towards May just to be clear.
  4. I work for a federal government agency and they are very particular about documentation when it comes to approved time off....my pcp is not supportive of my decision to go to Mexico so he won't write one for me. I talked to alma and she said that they will get me on I just need to tell them what to put I it....any suggestions on what to say without putting them in my business

    April sleevers in mexico

    Hi everyone.....I'm going to see Dr garcia tomorrow. I'm excited that I am able to go visit the hospital and meet him before I schedule my surgery. Is anyone else having surgery with him and would like me to ask him any specific questions? I understand most people are not able to have a consultation before surgery so I'm doing it for us all...let me know
  6. I'm not sure how that works. I know for my job I just need a justifiably note from a doc but my pcp won't do it so I will see if dr garcia note will work

    self-pay question

    I went to a few places as well as true results they only finance 5500 at my location so i would have to come up with the rest but i dont want to finance from two different lenders thats more money...i wish i could find a place that did 100% financing inhouse lol that would be too perfect...
