I see that Dr. Garcia has gotten very popular around this site :) I've heard so many positive things so far, and he's got a very reasonable price. I'm wondering if anyone has had any negative experience with him at all? Just weighing all of my options on the surgeons is all. :) thanks! If I could come up with the money, I will probably go with Dr. Alvarez because he's over here by me in Tx, and I've heard great things about him. But if I can't get a loan, I may have to decide on a less expensive surgeon and I'm definitely considering Garcia! :)

Was sleeved by Dr. Garcia March 20, 2012. Can't not say enough good about him, his team, his nurses, the hospital, and the hotel - from Alma the coordinator to my flight home everything was smooth and professional - could not have been more happy then or now - good luck with your choice!!!!!

I was sleeved by Garcia in April. I posted my experience on here. I didnt have anything negative to say. Check out my post if you can find it on here. There were a couple of things though that were a little diffrent then what I expected. That being said I am tickled with my progress (110 lbs) over the last four months. I would have the sleeve again and would use Garcia again. Good luck!!!

      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! 😞
