Good luck Ashley and owl. As you can tell from my earlier conversations I did not have a good experience and six weeks today and am still having problems. Make sure you have someone checking up on you! All the best.

Don't be worried about the facilities! I just had my sleeve done there on June 7th and am very pleased with the entire experience. I am also planning on going back for the mommy makeover. :)

I had surgery with Dr. Almanza on July 9 and totally agree. And if I go for plastics, I definitely will be going there.

My experience began June 11 and is posted. Just be cautious. Dr. Garcia is wonderful and so are the other doctors. I just did not get the care I paid for but everyone is different. I went alone too. Go back and read about my experience if you want.

There were several people that were alone when I was there on May 11. They all did great. Dr. Garcia and staff are wonderful. Very clean hospital. If I had anything negative to say, I wish I had a spanish-english handbook. But they take wonderful care of you!

I am having my surgery with Dr. Garcia at Mi Doctor Hospital. I was Leary about paying up front through a coordinator, has anyone had any problems with payments?

My surgery is 8/31 with Dr Garcia, what is your date? I sent my deposit via credit card, but I am taking the balance with me via cashiers check. As I understand it, I am supposed to send a fax of the cashiers check 1 week prior to my surgery date. Why are you paying upfront?

I had my surgery on June 11th. I went down with a cashiers cheque for the 5000 and only put my deposit on visa. I wish I would have paid the balance after surgery to make sure I had the care I had paid for, but I gave it to them the first night I arrived at the hotel. They were there for the money . I will pray for you that everything goes perfect for you. I think if dr. Garcia needs to be more hands on with the staff he hires. But that is my opinion. Keep writing and I will try to answer any questions you may have. Hug to you.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
