Which Dr Garcia?



Recommended Posts

I've been researching the lower cost doctors in Tijuana. I've come to a point where I don't know if I'm going to go with Fernando Garcia or Ismael Cabrera Garcia.

Any thoughts?

I am going with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I decided on him because he had such good reviews from people on here. I have not found one negative comment about him. I also really like his coordinator, Alma. She is so nice and helpful. I also liked the idea that his deposit was refundable. I am using my tax return for the surgery and I was worried I would not get it in time for my date. Alma assured me that I could change my date with no problem and cancel it if need be and get my money back.

Nice. I will have my surgery too with DR. Fernando Garcia. My friend had hers on 12/17/2012 starting weight 225lbs, and now as of today she is at 177lbs. She is encouraging me to have my surgery asap. She told me she was not in an ounce of pain like the people here talk about. Mind you shes gone through 2 child births, though. I have not had any surgery in my life other than dental work done "doesn't count". I am scared but at the same time I am sick and tired of feeling and being fat! I have lost once in 2009 63 lbs with JENNY CRAIG AND I Couldn't loose anything more i wouldn't go under 187lbs! and now I have gained almost all my weight back.

I too had Dr Fernando Garcia and couldn't be happier. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon, I had no gas pains, no pain, walked right after surgery. He has also performed over 4000 surgeries, talk about experienced!! Good Luck

In my opinion, I would go with Dr. Fernando Garcia. I personally haven't read much on the other Garcia, but I've seen tons of good reviews on Fernando Garcia. :) good luck to you whichever one you decide to go with!

I went to Fernando Garcia April the 27, 2012 and have nothing but great reviews about this man and his staff, especially Alma. She is so sweet and answers all your questions and walks you through everything. I'd recommend him to anyone. I also have to agree with the post above me about pain. I had none! Just soreness, but i hear about so many others experiencing it.

My cousin had her sleeve done in TX just 2wks ago and was in severe pain to the point of tears. Maybe the surgeon wasn't gentle enough, I'm not sure. But Dr. Garcia is the man!

I started at 330lbs day of surgery and almost 10 months later I'm 197.2 lbs. He helped me to regain my life and made everything smooth and easy.

Team Fernando all the way!!

I am going to dr. Cabrera. I love love love his coordinator christy. She has made me feel so comfortable. Also doctor cabrera doesn't do as many surgeries in one day like some of the other doctors, I definatly like that. Good luck!

After even more research I am still going with Fernando Garcia. I spoke with Alma today, she was most helpful in answering my questions. I am going to schedule sometime mid April, as soon as I can confirm time away from work. I am very excited! This is the ultimate solution to my lifelong battle with weight.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am getting sleeved by Dr Cabrera Garcia. Christy is amazing!

 

Anyone else get the procedure done by him? Thoughts? Has anyone travelled alone to do this? A bit nervous, but hopefully it will pass.

 

My surgery date is May 20th at MI.

      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
