...when you read about someone who chose to have their surgery performed in Mexcio and unfortunately had complications, please try not to leave condescending comments about how you would never chose to go to a foreign country to have surgery or how you value your life too much to put the cost of surgery before your health, etc, etc. We are all trying to get to the same place with our health and have a common goal but just because we chose a different path than you does not lessen how we feel about ourselves, our families and so on. Alot of us who opted to go to Mexico did not have the option to use health insurance or were rejected by some of the same companies you used for your surgery.
Not trying to cause drama at all and I'm trying to make sure I do not come across as trying to start something but I just had to put it out there.

I'm a Dr. Garcia patient and loving my sleeve! I was sleeved June 2013 at Florence Hospital. I have lost 71 lbs. Some people standards that's slow weight loss but I'm happy. I'm not dieting. Just trying to remember Protein first! I also believe I had a 32 French bougie. I remember asking the female doctor there (cannot remember her name) what bougie size before the surgery. She said do I want a loose sleeve or tighter one. I said definitely tighter lol. I guess they made it that size. I was so sick for 2 days after that I didn't even think to ask. I was throwing up blood after surgery which didn't make me panic because I read it happened to others. I also went alone. I was fine. I still don't feel hunger and if I'm busy I can go all day without eating but I still have head hunger. I see/smell food I want it. I have to stop myself and think am I really hungry? Every time I realize I'm not. I find myself eating more junk food because of convenience but my restriction is still there but it works better when I eat protein first which is what they tell you to do. I work out 5 days a week at a gym at my work. I go on my lunch break. I eat first for about 15 minutes then spend the rest of the hour at the gym. I never had the desire to work out before. I still have to make myself go sometimes but once I get there I love it. I'm usually the only one there.

I was. Sleeved in June 2013 and now I only weigh about once a month. I cannot deal with stalls or weight gain and this way it have not had any!

I'm so glad to hear from someone that far out. And you look amazing! I'm 4 months out and have lost 55lbs. I'm a slow loser but as long as I'm losing I'm happy.

I borrowed against my 401k.

I went to Mexico by myself and I had never flown before nor had I ever left the country. I did fine! You can do this!

Don't forget "you took the easy way out" lmbo!

What I want to know is when the OP retracted her story why 2 women on here continue to ask why is she lying like she wasn't lying before. The OP stated she is bipolar.
I know someone who is bipolar and she makes up these outrageous stories about her family and friends to get people to feel sorry for her. I'm imagining that the OP is the same way.
Shame on the women still defending her actions just because a "man" scorned her. She said nothing happened after all so why are you still saying it did? Did he not hit on you and it hurt your feelings?

I still can't believe all the stink raised because a woman felt scorned because he didn't pay her enough attention so she decided to come on here bad mouth him then say she lied about it.
Obviously it didn't matter. He may lose his job because he may or may not have slept with her even though she was willing.
Everyone one here got bent out of shape about it because they said he was her dr. Well get over it. Crap like that happens everyday. Remember President Clinton? He didn't lose his job even though he was in a position of power.
Dr. Luna visited my room and removed my staples. He was very professional and made me feel at ease. He gave me a hug before he left but it did not feel like he was flirting at all. I feel bad for him from all this craziness these women on here have caused him.

What a mess this has become...sad on all fronts

Thanks for your spam.

I didn't say I have an opinion of you. Just makes me angry when someone is accused of something they didn't do and how do you know he was let go? Just because someone on here said he was?
I'm sorry I've made some of you angry it was not my intention. I just want people to stop defending her like she did nothing wrong.

I have read the first 7 pages of this and it's interesting in the different spin that people put on it. First of all, it's in Mexico and they have different laws and regulations. I myself struggle with seeing someone 4 days out having sex, for me I was really sore and tired. Perhaps if she has a hyper sexual sex drive then I believe it. She did state that she's bipolar. Either way this whole story sounds ridiculous to me. It is drama and who knows if it's the truth or not. Perhaps she's a troll. DRAMA!

Please let us know in what state or country can a doctor face criminal charges for consensual sex? American Medical Association has a guideline for ethics. AMA encourages the usage but its not mandatory. Most oaths and codes are administrated by voluntary associations not regulatory agencies. Their are limits on serious disciplinary action. Do anyone knows Mexico Medical Association policies? Criminal charges is way extreme. I'm no expert and always open to being educated about things. A article or website would be needed.

I haven't read on here where other women said they did so unless YOU were one of them stop trying to act like you know every claim made is true.

I'm not acting like every claim is false but you keep defending the lady who DID make a false claim. I'm angry at the people on here still defending her. She said that she lied about him sleeping with her. I think most of you are crazy drama queens because you keep trying to stir up trouble when I'm trying to defend the doctor. A lot of you are still trying to defend her lies.
