Waiting list for Fernando Garcia?

Is there one or does he book up fast? Is it unreasonable to get in with in a month or sooner? Calling but curious!

I did. He had a lot of patients but really took his time in discussing things:). Would highly recommend him:)

When I booked a week ago, (I'm March 28), Alma said it's a busy time of year with ppl getting their tax refunds back. They like to schedule only 4 surgeries/day. But you'll just have to call and see. Good luck!

It's prob good so my airline ticket won't be too bad! In excited! That is awesome that there will be some of you there too! She said there is some the first week of March available, but booked up besides that which is good!! It gives me time to plan! I was waiting on my ins to deny me or approve me but found out I would be paying 4700 out of pocket if approved and then the us surgeon would be 2 months out!!So decided on MX!

Yay! So you have decided to get the MX route after all? I'm still in shock over BCBS of AL.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
