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

      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! 😞
