Just Another Confirmation Dr.garcia Is The Right Choice For Me :)

Hi All,

I know there are many people on the board trying to find an ex-US surgeon (I was one of those people). I must say I did feel a bit weird not having my blood work or test run prior to going to Mexico (my date is Nov 7th) so I went to my PCP and she ordered a slew of blood test, I had gotten my results and scripts for medicine/vitamins to take.

With that being said I am going through Ready4Achange so I emailed alma my results along with my script to ask if it is ok that I take the medications and when should I stop taking them (if at all) before the surgery. She forwarded my question along to Dr.Garcia and his medical staff within a short time I had received feedback from one of the doctors and less than 12 hours later from Dr.Garcia. This just makes me feel so much more comfortable with my decision, just knowing that pre-op I am able to get answers in a timely fashion and from the Dr. himself just speaks in volumes to me as to how I will be treated after surgery.

Just thought I would share!!!

OMG I can't wait to be sleeved.. I am anxiously counting down the days! :)

Hi, have you been in contact with ready3achange or alighterme? If not, the best I can do is suggest you email Ready4Achange.com" rel="">alma@Ready4Achange.com she is the coordinator that I am in contact with. She will answer all questions and pass them on if needed. :)

I'm going through Alma at ready4achange too. She's been able to answer all the questions I've had so far.
