I'm brand new here! I just came home after having surgery with Dr. Garcia! You will love him and all the nurses too! I would recommend him to anyone. I didn't go through ready 4a change, I signed up through A Lighter Me.

We met up with some of their patients and they were not a happy as the rest of us. Once they got to the hotel they were basically left on their own! Our coordinators Eduardo and Abraham were awesome! They visited us several times a day, took us to Walmart and shopping at Revolution Ave where we could shop at street vendors. They had jewelry, leather goods and painted pottery and lots of other things. I wanted to get some authentic souvenirs and we all had a good time.

They wouldn't let us stay out to long saying they didn't want us to overdo it, but we had about an hour to shop. We also met up with some patients of Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna. They work at the same hospital as Dr. Garcia. It was nice to meet the other patients and we all exchanged email address and promised to keep in touch!

You will be in good hands!

Good luck with the surgery, I hope everything goes well! If you don't mind I would so appreciate it if you would write me back when you get home to tell me about your experience with Dr. Garcia, and your experience with ready 4a change. :)

Well I am glad you had a good experience with everyone! I am super nervous to go but excited at the same time! I hope everything goes well for me having already signed up through ready 4a change, they have been good so far, so we shall see. I look forward to doing some shopping while I am out there, I just hope I feel ok :) Were there a lot of patients there when you went? Did you get a room with two beds or did you go alone? Was it hard comunicating with any of the staff? Anyway those are just a few of my questions, if you could answer any of them that would be great! I'm trying to find out as much info before I go so I will be ready :) Thanks!

I'm sure you will be fine!

I met a total of about 12 patients during the 5 days I was there, Some coming and going and some having surgery with Dr. Garcia and some with Dr. Lopez.

I did get a room with 2 beds in both the hospital and the hotel and my husband stayed with me the entire time.

All the doctors spoke English well enough to communicate. Some nurses didn't speak a lot of English and I don't speak any Spanish but we were able to communicate enough so that I was comfortable.

All the staff at the hotel that I came in contact with spoke English too. Some people brought their lap tops and had phones that had apps with translators. If you have one I suggest you bring it just in case.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
