Dr Garcia is amazing and the entire team he has is incredible

 

In a hospital Mi-Hospital is very comfortable clean and professional

I would recommend this experience to anyone that wants to make a huge change in life

My only thing is when you feel like crap walk around the more you walk it makes you feel better

I pushed myself ever 2 hours to walk around and 8 hours after my surgery I looked and felt awesome

Many people asked me when my surgery was happening I said its done all ready . They could not believe I was up and moving around and just cruising the hallways .

If they would have let e out side I would have being walking around the block with my IV in one hand and my other and holding my gown together in the back

 

The info and details everyone have given are so helpful. If something falls through with my surgery in Jan., (re. the insurance or Dr.'s office here in CA) I plan to go through Dr. Garcia as well. You guys have made me more comfortable with my backup plan, thank you!

I'm at the passport place and she said the state will have to mail my birth certificate back to me. I need this passport. But I'm worried about this.

Yes they mail it back to you, i received my birth certificate back 2 days after the passport arrived. Do you have to rush your passport or do you have enough time for normal processing?

 

what is making you worried?

Not leaving with my birth certificate. I don't like Other ppl having control over my important paperwork.

 

But yea I'm not traveling until Feb. The lady said ill have it before I travel

I'll definitely check-in regularly

I'm a Garcia mexico sleever 7 months out. I have lost 148 lbs (a few of those pre op). I was wearing a 24 and now am in a size 12. I did not follow his post op diet. I didnt really like his plan and needed more rules. I follow the 600 calorie/+60 oz protein/+64 oz fluid/-40 carbs. I have great restriction. A meal for me is 2 oz protein. Once I had my surgery I dont really go to the Mexico forum any longer. I spend my time looking at the post op/success/diet and nut forum now. That may be the case of alot of Mexico sleevers, including Garcia's. I had a good experience with Garcia and would do it again. I am happy with the results so far!

Hollirrose, that is awesome success! are such a motivation!

I just paid my deposit. Today, 30 mins ago actually. I am so excited and ready for this journey.

I'd like to hear more about the diet you're following. Do you have anymore info on it, like meal plans or even a website?

I am on my fitness pal.com and have my food log open. You can see exactly what I eat and the amount I eat at one sitting. I love MFP and have a ton of vsg friends on there. I look at their logs and get ideas of foods and meals. I check it more then facebook now. If you have an account, add me. Hollirrose is my user name. My "diet" is basically meat (hamburger, chicken, pork, tuna), cheese, protein shakes, eggs, and a few low carb veggies. I tend to be a boring eater and eat alot of the same foods every day. It halps me meet my low calorie/low carb/high protein goals. There is a website _ the world according to eggface that oodles of people get recipies from. She has everything from liquid to mushy stage recipies on there.

I was sleeved on July 30. Since surgery I've lost 48 pounds. Very happy with my choice to go to Mexico and Dr. Garcia. I took an antibacterial body wash with me for showers. I used the hospital gowns and some loose pants while in the hospital. I packed very light since I was traveling alone.
