Dr Garcia And Mi Doctors Hospital



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am Eleasha and I am trying to get the sleeve done. I was originally going to Dr. Almanza but I have heard a few unsettling things about him and his "hospital" that's given me cause to research some other doctors. I was looking into dr. Ponce de leon but I haven't been able to get in with them for the dates that I need the surgery done. As I have already gotten the time off approved and I can't change my dates. I just heard about Dr. Garcia and the Mi Doctors Hospital. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about the hospital and the doctor that you could post or Private Message me?

Hello! I'm pre-op myself, and I've been looking into all these doctors too. I've read a lot of good reviews about Dr. Garcia even though I don't know too much about him.

I had surgery last Friday at Doctors Hospital of Michigan and Dr. Pleatman is my surgeon. I had a really good experience. I recommend Dr. Pleatman. The hospital was not bad. The prep nurses were very friendly. The hospital was very busy at night and it took some time to get to you when you called. Otherwise it was a good experience.

I am here now at Mi Doctor - still pre-op but all hooked up and waiting for my surgery to start. Everything so far has been great, small and simple but very clean and no problems at all.

I will post my entire experience after I get home, but so far so good! There are also lots of other people that have used Dr Garcia that have helped me and can give you some insight.

I had surgery on July 18 with Doctor Garcia, and had a fantastic experience. The whole crew at both the Mi hospital and the Marriott. The nurses were so attentive catering to both myself and my husband. They Made sure my husbands insulin was keep cold, always asking if we needed anything. There is a house doctor there all the time. The room was good, just like our hospitals and a bed for my hubby, along with tv and remote control for air conditioning, which I loved. The Marriott is very familiar with the patients, you can eat your broth in the restaurant or they will deliver it to the room. Real nice pool area for companion, also golf. No worries amount being in Tijuana at all. The driver Samuel is great.

Thank you all I am feeling a lot more comfortable with booking it with him. Since he is out of a real hospital and not a clinic.

You might want to check out www.gastricsleeve.com and search Dr. Garcia on that board. There have been a couple people recently that have come back with infected incision sites. Not trying to scare or bad mouth anyone. Just happen to notice the posts when I was cruising thru the posts. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
