Been Gone Awhile.... Im Back ... Dr. Garcia Update



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Its been a long long long while since I have logged in. Things have been hectic but going great.

Just for review, Im Kisha from MD. Had my surgery on May 22, 2012 with Dr. Fernando Garcia. My experience was wonderful from the moment I stepped foot in Mexico.

Starting weight was 216. Goal weight is 145.... current weight 151!!!!! Only 4 months out and I am almost at my goal. Life has changed so much and is going great as a non-obese person. I am now wearing a medium top, medium dress (depending on the store) or size 10, and in pants, also depending ont he store, size 11 or 12. My feet have even shrunk. 7.5 now.

I just want to say anyone considering mexico and Dr. Garcia.... you can't go wrong. They have the best care and Dr. Garcia is the best. If I had to do it all over again... I would... without a second thought. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have!!!1

some pictures!!!! I dont really have many before picture because I hated taking pictures... but I have tons of after...because the camera loves me now.... or should I say, I love myself now.... sorry for the side ways pictures...I am just too lazy to rotate!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
