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!

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

      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! 😞
