Any Reviews For Dr. Garcia?



Recommended Posts

I have been researching and calling around and I think I have it narrowed down to two surgeons, but leaning more towards Dr. Garcia. Any reviews on him? Would live to hear about experiences. I sent a long list of questions and everyone was answered and I have been very pleased so far, but before I pay the deposit I wanted to see what experiences people have had. Thanks!

I am going with him next month. I did a lot of research on here and online. Search him by name on google and these threads and you will find wonderful reviews.

Good luck in your search ;)

You can also watch videos of him and his team on YouTube to kindof "meet" them. The videos are done by ready for a change.

Hello...I'm here now in TJ. My surgery is scheduled for 2pm. The staff at ready 4a change have been amazing so far. Yes, I'm afraid but Rosie has called to check on me 3 times since my arrival yesterday. I'm being picked up at the hotel in 10mins and ill post a review later this week. So far, I'm sure I made the right choice.

I was sleeved 10/8/12 so far I have lost about 30 lbs since I started my wls journey. My experience with Dr Fernando Garcia was great he is a highly skilled surgeon I'm so glad I went with him. I was also looking for a surgeon months ago I had a diff one in mind and after finding so many great experiences w/ Dr Garcia I was sold. His entire staff is great and I'm very pleased with my results. Good luck on you wls journey. If you have more questions you can also send me a pm

There are alot of posts on here about Dr Garcia not sure if you have read them. I had a revision on Sept 10th, he is an amazingly skilled surgeon. You can't go wrong by going with Dr Garcia!

I'm day 4 post op and have nothing negative to report. My revision was a great success. dr Garcia and the entire ready 4a change staff are amazing. The hotel is beautiful and now I feel like I'm on vacation. I would definitely book with them. My mom is now being scheduled for January. This is one of the best things I've done for myself.

I also had a great experience with Dr Garcia in August. I went through A Lighter Me and everything was just as I was told.

Hey folks I'm consider Dr. Garcia for my procedure. But I've kinda been road blocked. I've been getting mixed reviews in A Lighter Me mostly bad. But good reviews on Ready4Achange. What is it that the coordinators do different that results in such different price ranges? Ready for a change looks to be higher but a few thousand dollars. Unless I had the wrong website. That discourages me because a lighter me is in my price range but ppl have said some bad things about the service

Dr Garcia is 4700 with R4C and Ronda with ALM quoted me 4800 with him. I think those r the only 2 services he works with, but I could be wrong.

Good luck!

A few months ago it was the other way around, all I heard was negative things about Readyforachange, which made me go with alighterme. I've made up my mind to just not care about the coordinator drama, I'm going to a great doctor and I'm happy about that. I do want a good experience from start to finish though, and all I can do is hope that I receive that. I'm not going until March though, but I will be sure to post about my experience for others :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
