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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
