Dr Garcia & Mi Doctor Hospital



Recommended Posts

Hi, I arrived yesterday morning at 7:00 at Mi Doctor. Met ADNKEL30 and she was just walking around like nothing. I had to ask her if she had surgery? Yes she had the day before. All did all of my pre op testing. I meet with Dr. Garcia around noon. He told me about the procedure and answered all of my questions. I then meet the anethesiolgist (sp) He answer all of my questions and told me all what to expect, I was wheeled into the ER, and next thing I knew I was back in my room. I felt a little pain which was knocked out quickly with some pain meds. I went back to sleep and about midnight I was up walking. This morning, no pain,just soreness were the drain is at and my reflux is acting up. They gave me some anticids and I back to new. I think I have my drain test later this afternoon. MY battery is low. so I better sign off and charge it up,

Thank you all for your well wishes. This morning Saturday I left the hospital and I am now at the Marriott. The hotel is beautiful. The chicken broth is pretty tasty. Im feeling good for just having major surgery, The drain did not hurt when it was removed. That was a huge relief. I was just waiting to scream out and carry on. The coordinators give you a send off bag with gatorade,water,chap stick, glycerin swabs,antibiotics,spirometer and something for acid reflux and bandages. I really enjoyed having Dr, Garcia as my surgeon. For the 2 days I was there, he checked on me 3 or 4 times. And his Dr. assistant and internist were wonderful. The anathesologist (sp) was also great. I would use him again.

FINALLY did something DIFFERENT and I did it for ME!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
