I am currently in Mexico and i was just sleeved by Dr. Garcia. The facility is great and so is the hotel that they put you in. Dr. Garcia was really hands on with his trusty ipad giving me a visual display of how and what he was going to do during the surgery. I will be going home in a day or so. Im feeling great and no complications so far.......fingers crossed! You will be fine. I was the only surgery for Dr. Garcia on the day that i came so it made me feel more comfortable that i was the only one for the day. Hope this helps......Message me if i can answer any questions for you.

Good Luck

I've been emailing with dr. Garcia and I just adore him right down to the way he talks. He writes the same way he talks. <3. My gut is really leaning toward dr Garcia.

Amy- how did you get in touch with Dr Garcia directly?

 

I was watching some videos on YouTube that were made by Ready4Achange and his email was in the video.

 

drgarciagovea@hotmail.com

 

I'd love to hear what he says to you, in case you have questions I forget to ask. If that's ok with you. :)

 

I mostly wanted to know what he does for an anticoagulant, and if I'd get his cellphone number to reach him with concerns and questions after surgery.

What is your YouTube video Channel name

 

Me? I don't have one. I'm much too much of an introvert to have a channel. I just watch others. :)

Hey All Mexico Sleevers(Dr.Garcia) Is there a follow up schedule for you and your primary care physician to follow? I know a lot of ppl who are having surgery in the US goes to see the doctors at certain points after surgery. So I wonder if the is a guideline for my physician to follow and things for her to check for at certain points after surgery? That would be so great.

Hey folks. Kinda off topic but I'm working to schedule my surgery with Dr.Garcia in February. I have found out all I needed to make my decision. But I have one more question. Do I need a passport book or just a passport card? My coordinator mentioned something about just having my ID and birth certificate. How did you all get there? Because I have to pay for both me and my mom and that would end up being expensive.

 

We got just the passport card vs the book .. It was cheaper and faster. When I was there 4 weeks ago the boarder control did ask for our cards... But maybe u don't need them .. Not sure

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
