Dr Garcia SPIDER TECHNIQUE



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm booked in for the spider technique (through the belly button) with dr Garcia May 11. Just wondering as its fairly new if anyone else has had this done w him? I have heard before a few people saying they'd had it done (w great results) but can't remember if they were specifically from surgery w him.

Thank you

Hi Rollargirl,

I'd only heard of this procedure once before your posting, so I sure hope you are able to find out a little more about it. I'm very interested, myself. May I inquire how much Dr. Garcia is charging for that method? I understand its a little more time consuming. Thanks!

I know! I was almost heading to cancun for mine .. It costs an extra $1000 but I'm happy to pay that as long as he's not "practising" on me lol ... Alma said he's done "like a hundred" but I'm just doing a little more investigating ????

Hi! Don't quote me but I think u have to be under 40 BMI and that's all I've heard. It's a trickier surgery (obviously) and takes longer so it's $1000 more - see you at the hotel in 5 ish weeks!

Just wondering why you are choosing this method? Is it the scars you don't want? Dr Garcia has performed thousands of sleeve surgeries the traditional way and is an excellent surgeon. 100 belly button ones are not alot. The scars fade so light that you can barely see mine.

It says there's less healing time & less pain - good for our long journey home. I'd prefer 1 incision spot to 4 , even if the scarring is minimal I have scaring around my areola from a reaction to sutchers from my reduction so would start feeling like bride of Frankenstein .. Also I don't particularly like my belly button (it's very deep) so a new one is just fine by me!

I think you have to be 30-35 bmi in order to do song lee with him.. FYI but I could be wrong?

For me this one is a no-brainer; as Rollargirl has already pointed out, faster healing time, less pain, hidden scar. In my case, brown skin tends to scar very darkly, and the scars do not fade.

Oh yes, and the surgery is offered to those with a bmi of 39 or lower.

Yes besides the extra 1000 - why wouldn't you? Lol

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
