I too was sleeved by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, MX on Oct. 30th 2012. My experience with everything was pretty positive!!! The Mariott Hotel is very nice and the staff that works there are VERY friendly! Arriving at the hospital, Mi Doctor, I was a little surprised at how small the hospital was, but quickly didn't care because it definitely was a hospital, was clean, and the staff was wonderful! My only negative comment is the room they put us in was the back corner room. It was large and clean and had two beds, one for me and my husband, and our own bathroom... they only thing negative about it was that the only window in the room was facing an alley which let in NO sunlight... all the other rooms had nice big windows and made the room feel more inviting. That's my only complaint. :)

I would highly reccomend Dr. Garcia... he took his time explaining the procedure and answered any questions we had. The other doctors and staff were very pleasant too. I guess I lucked out and was the only paitient on the floor, so I got all the attention... it was very quiet.

My recovery after the hospital was spent at the Mariott which was lovely!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
