An you tell me if he uses the newer stapler that does he three rows of staples and slices down the middle?

What size bougie does he use?

What does the pre op diet look like?

Also. Does he do sutures after the stapling?

Thx!

Yes he uses the new stapler with 3 rows and he also sutures for extra security. The bougie is 32 and I sent you a message about the preop. He is a good choice you will not regret it.

Hello, I wonder if I messaged you first or if I wrote this first. Lol. It was late, for me.

 

Thank you for answering my questions. I don't think I've read anything negative about him and I just get a good feeling about him. He seems super sweet.

Oh, I just read the link you sent me in a pm. I thought dr gracias patients stayed in the Marriott? I wanna stay in the marriott :hissyfit

 

Lol

 

 

Oh yeah, how many leak tests does he do?

depends on which coordinator you use as to where you are staying. ready4achange uses the marriott. alighterme doesnt

Alighterme does use the Marriott because that is where I stayed and I originally contacted them. Alighterme and obesitysolutionsinternational and ready4achange are all with the same company which is obesitysolutionsinternational.

There is a leak test done during surgery, then one the next day which you can watch on a screen, then one done again later which is a dye test.

You will stay in the Marriott. I did.

That's weird. Alighterme was going to put me up at hotel ticuan and ready 4achange at the marriott. Maybe it depends on the coordinator?

Yeah, the obesity solutions place lists a couple hard to pronounce hotels. Hm. I'll ask when that time comes.

 

I called today and talked with Linda. She's the one on the YouTube videos w dr Garcia right? W blonde hair? Who are the other coordinators?

Yes that is Linda. She was my coordinator and she is great. She answered all my questions and was there when I had my surgery. There were 4 of us having surgery that day and she helped all of us. They have an office in the hospital as well where Melissa and Rosie are there to help at anytime with anything. They also came to visit us in the hotel the night before surgery and after we were released from the hospital. The hotel is also very helpful with anything you need. It is truly a great experience with very attentive staff all the way around.

When I was there they were transitioning everybody to the Marriott because of a few complaints about the smoke and some other issues - I had Alma at ready for a change for a coordinator.

im really happy to hear all this, thanks ladies!
