Hi Misty,

I have submitted my health form to Dr Garcia and I am waiting to hear back from him. How long did it take to get your surgery scheduled?

You should be able so schedule with a coordinator (Alma is who I used) right away. They will go ahead and put it down on the schedule and then Dr. Garcia will give his approval....have you spoken with a coord. yet?

I went through ready4achange....they all work a little differently. Alma booked my date before she even sent me the paperwork. Have you called or emailed her? I am sure you will hear soon - do you have a date in mind?

I am sure I will, just anxious! LOL Actually I am thinking September but I have no idea if they can get me in that quickly. So tell me, how do you feel? What happened or didn't happen that you wish someone would have told you before surgery? So far what is the worst part? How long was your pre op diet? Sorry, just full of questions.

Dont apologize - really, I was full of all of the same exact questions. I have found so much support and help here....there are LOTS of people that have used Dr. Garcia and I know they would love to answer any questions you have...I know I asked them and they answered.

One helpful way I found was to search Dr. Garcia in the forums (up top to the right) and then you get all of the posts that mention him. It is a lot of reading..but it is easier than searching for someone that has had surgery and used him.

I KNOW they can get you in that soon - I have seen them schedule within 3 wks. Some scheduled end of June and have already had surgery or about to before July is over. So, Sept should be no prob!!

      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! 😞
