Are there two dr. garcia's in mexicot and if so .. which one is this thread talking about.. ??

no..his full name is Dr. Fernando Govea Garcia...maybe that is where you might be confused..

Hi BarbieB. I am going to see Dr. Garcia for sleeve on April 9, 2012 - day after Easter, from Jacksonville Florida. I see you also came from Florida. I'll be traveling along.....do you think thats OK since its such a long trip? I am a pretty strong & smart gal so not too worried. And tidbits you can fill me in on that may help me with trip and experience besides packing lightly...lol.

Also, you mentioned you had to call for meds...what meds? Did they not send you to hotel with enough and also why did you need money for them? I am hoping the costs cover everything.

Sorry for so many question but one more....did you stay in hospital 2 nights or 1 and did you get a private room.

Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions. I hope your recovery and weight loss is going well.

Your neighbor from Florida!

pack light, follow the pre op diet without cheats I think you do much better post op..I had no pain what so ever..check the weather before you go it is really cold at night and warms in the day but I hade 2 cold days which I was out and about and was glad I bundled up. go shopping it is so much fun...If you have anything to ask specifically ask..I emailed finallyme with the questions she asked..I dont mind answering anyones questions..I remember it was not too long ago that I was in your shoes the unknown is kinda scary as well as going to a foreign counrty especially one that has gotten alot of bad press...the media sensationalizes that crap it is a completely safe place and the people there are so nice way nicer than most here in the staes..good luck and ask whatever you want..

My preop diet has been pretty easy. I have a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and then a salad with Protein for dinner. I only need to do this for seven days and so far, it's been pretty easy. Was that what you're pre-op diet was?

Which hotel did you stay at? I'm scheduled to be at the Marriott. Might ask to be "relocated" to the hotel with the Casino in it (-;

Some of the post-op instructions I got were a little confusing. How long did you stay on Clear liquids before you moved to full liquids? In one place it says Clear Liquids for two weeks and then in another I think it says clear liquids for 1-2 days after surgery.

Thanks barbie.. i must've been up late on night lol.. I'm flip flopping who i want to go with now.. i was set on going with dr. kelly.. but i've been since thinking about going to dr. garcia or Dr. Ponce. I'm trying to make my mind up today... I wish they had a sticky on here for each doctor.. that would be so helpful to have information all in one spot. I'm having surgery on May 4th now i have to decide again who with.. :-)

Hey y'all! I'm flying out Easter and having surgery on Monday the 9th. Garcia/Marriott. Steffi :-)

[southerngirl 51]

I may see you. I have surgery the 6th and leave on the tenth. We see eachother in passing. I'm getting so excited! I know this will be the best decision I've made in my life. I've lost approx 5 lbs on preop so far! That's just getting me even more motivated.
