Dr Garcia January 25th



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of booking January 25th with dr. F Garcia. Anyone else going at that time? I think I will be going alone so it would be great to meet others going at the same time.

I'm so scared to actually put my deposit down though. It's scary to go to another country for surgery.

I will probably be gone by then. :( I'm only staying the two days in the hospital and not going to the hotel afterwards.

I'm thinking of putting my deposit, but am still trying to figure out the day to schedule because of work. Will they allow you to leave upon discharge from the hospital?

Yes, but they said its only because I live in San Diego and could go back easily if I need to.

Congratulations Lulu on your decision. You won't be disappointed. I had my surgery on Sept 10th and have lost to date 62 pounds. You will meet others at the hotel don't worry about being there alone.

Where is all of your stuff when you are in surgery? Do you have to leave it in the hospital room? I was thinking about this the other night. My suitcase will have my phone, passport, money, all that junk in it.

Yes all your stuff is in your room. They will lock up your wallet but be careful we all seem to have $20.00 taken from it.

I'm glad my mom will be there and my sis. I can ask them to keep an eye on your stuff too. It's up to you.

Awww! Thank you so much! I may have someone coming with me, but that's not 100% yet. I sure hope so because I really don't want to go alone. Even though you will be there too!! :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
