Hello Everyone, I am having VSG surgery but not until November with Dr. Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico. Can anyone offer any feedback both positive, and negative about your experience with Dr. Garcia? My biggest fear is blood clots and leaks!

There was a lady who posted on another topic about having her surgery in Tijuana with a Dr. Garcia. She had an infection of her incisions and was going through a pretty bad time of it. Her doctor won't reply to her emails. She felt that she didn't receive good aftercare. I wish I could find which thread she was posting on, but I can't find it. Please be careful!

You should go over to the self pay Mexico board, there are plenty of people over there who have went to Dr. Garcia. I am getting sleeved there on Saturday

I kept trying to find that thread, but it still eludes me. I checked out the Mexico board, and there are tons of people who are thrilled with Dr. Fernando Garcia.

I don't know if the lady I read about had her surgery by the same guy....I only know that his last name was Garcia and he was in Tijuana. She had gone there alone, and had some concerns about her incisions before she left, but couldn't get anyone from the hospital to come check on them in the hotel.

There are Two dr.garcia's. one is Fernando and the other, I can't think of name of their one at the moment.

I finally found the posting. It was by a poster called Kat1, and was in the "Where are the 50s???" (

• Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forum
  
• → Gastric Sleeve Surgery Support Groups
  
• → Age Specific Gastric Sleeve Surgery (VSG) Support Groups
  
• → Fifties)
  

Her story starts on page 22. I don't think it was until page 24 or 25 when she mentions Dr. Garcia, but I can't see that she ever mentioned a first name.

This may help find it...
