I am having surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia on March 2. I have read and talked with many of his patients and all are extremely pleased. The CER Hospital pictures and info received from other patients relay to me that the facility is very clean, up to date with equipment and very knowledgeable staff members. He was the first my instinct felt to choose and I have no fears at this point. Now, I am certain when I get there the jitters will begin. lol I have only had one surgery and that was 35 years go.

I've been told Monet hair products help. They have a line especially for hair loss. I use them but I am not using the ones for hair loss as I haven't had my surgery yet. I am however, going to switch over just in case. Not sold in stores, maybe a salon that is a distributor Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Oh, I'm 62 and going to MX March 1 date. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm so glad to hear someone my age express themselves. I am a little nervous that I won't lose because of some IT band problems (think hip/leg joint area) keeping me from being as active as I want and need to be. I have only about 50-55 pounds to lose, but that has made a huge difference in my life. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for that. That is what I fear. I hope to be ever mindful. Good luck to you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone heard of or used Dr. J. Maytorena. LongTerm VSG? Just checking incidents for a couple of docs and can't seem to find any complaints or issues. Not much at all really. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
