or did those patients willingly have sex with him?

as in rape??

He did the same to me, but it could also have to do with more the cultural differences too. I didn't feel that he was saying it in a "creepy" kind of way though.. He told me I was beautiful, had beautiful eyes & would look even more amazing once the weight came off. There was another female doctor in the room too though, but I forgot her name. I think it may be that he just says these things to help with the patient's self confidence & to get them excited about losing the weight. I could see though how someone may mistake this for him hitting on them or something, but Idk, I just dont think he means any harm by it.

I wonder what happened? I really liked Dr. Luna...

I also had Dr. Fernando Garcia... Pre-op diet - They emailed me a pre-op diet to follow which I was to start 2 weeks prior to surgery (Protein shake for Breakfast, Protein Shake for lunch, small salad & protein such as chicken for dinner, then 3 days prior start Clear liquids only) Post-op diet- They emailed me the post-op diet, but you can also look online for other ideas of what to eat & recipes to make Does the Doctor provide pain meds- yes, i was given medication to take for pain & also for gas Does the Dr./Nurse speak English clearly - Yes, the drs speak good English & most of the nurses speak good English (I didn't have any communication problems & I don't speak a lick of Spanish except for a few words I learned in highschool) Is there a TV and internet in the hospital.- Yes & yes - there are mostly spanish shows though which kinda sucked but every now and then an English speaking show would come on - the hotel has much more English speaking channels Do they give a leak test before leaving? Yes, I think it was one in surgery & then one the next day How were incisions closed? Will I need a follow up in the states to have something removed - i had staples, which they removed the day before we left & it didnt hurt at all.. Dr. Luna, his assisting dr came to take those out at the hotel.. Everyone was very sweet & helpful.. Our driver, Samuel was great too. I hope this helps

This is just an update.. I was sleeved 04/27 & I'm now down 36 pounds!

You know, I rarely post on here but I just have to say something. I think it's a little sad that you felt the need to make a post like this. I didn't have $13,000 or more to spend & my insurance doesn't happen to cover this procedure. I researched the heck out of going to MX and looked over hundreds of posts about people's experiences with their drs in MX. It really helped me to make my decision & to choose my doctor, especially when I was making such a big decision about not only having this surgery, but having it in a whole other country. Shame on you for trying to make people feel bad about sharing their experiences...

woohoo! me too! this morning i was 199! yay for us!!

I just have to add - I weighed this morning and I am now in "onederland"!! 199 - ohhh yeahhhh

Sleeved 04/27... Starting weight 230.. now 200.8 - Almost 30 pounds down

I did it.. I'll admit it. I just had a food funeral Tomorrow is when I have to start my two week preop diet... Sooo I went & got my favorite meal - MEXICAN FOOD!! & I ate & ate &.... Am I doomed to fail? Idk how I'm gonna make it through this two weeks... My whole world has revolved around FOOD.. When I wake up - I automatically think of what I'm gonna eat for breakfast.. at Breakfast I'm thinking about what I'm gonna have for lunch.. & at lunch, well you get the idea.... :/ Am I the only person who lives this way? Ughh I've battled ALL my life with going up & down in my weight - & never have been able to keep it off... & its because of this darn thing inside me called a stomach. It never gets full! I've always had a hard time stopping when I eat. I always eat the WHOLE meal & THEN SOME... I almost never have left overs... Ughh - Please tell me this surgery is gonna help me with this never full feeling! Please tell me this surgery is gonna work. I know I will have to work at it - but please tell me this surgery is gonna help me get there.... to that skinny girl inside of me! lol okay I'm done with my rant - just had to get all that off my chest
