Has anyone had any complications with Dr Garcia doing the sleeve? I get my sleeved done with him April 15, I am starting to get little nervous and and scared but excited at the same time.I just hope everything goes good and I don't have no major complications like some of the stories I have read on here.

I did read somewhere that he hasn't had any leaks if that helps any. I am using him too and I have total confidence that he is a very good surgeon! My surgery is scheduled for May 7, but considering switching to May 6, so I can have it the same day I fly in as well.

Search Dr Garcia and you will find plenty to calm your nerves. As with most of the MX docs.. You can find many recommendations just by searching in the search bar on the forum. Good luck!

thanks

I only heard he had one death .. Alma would know more just ask her any questions

I just emailed Dr. Garcia, Dr. Luna and Alma and it was a clot and heart issue but the whole family was sleeved by Garcia...This was an isolated incident!!! I worry about these things but they assured me that was the only one. still confident in my decision!

So, with a clot you just can't help it? If you get one in the wrong place you're just screwed or what? :/ I'm scared about this

Maybe or maybe not?!?! It seems to me although I AM NOT a doctor, some ppl just don't know if they are "blood clot" prone... Especially if you have never had any other surgeries/complications!! This particular person had ailments that contributed to her death.. If I had ailments I would NOT get this surgery period,in MX or The States.

Remember Amy is doing fine now..so I wouldn't say "screwed" altogether....

thanks guys, I get mine done the 15th and nervous lol

I am 11 days out and feeling fine. No complications what so ever.

I am 7 days out. Dr. Garcia and his team are amazing.

Im out 3 weeks and feeling amazing... I had a very positive experience with Dr Garcia and his whole team, i used www.Ready4Achange.com and they were 1st class!!

You should have specified Dr "FERNANDO" Garcia as there is more than one Dr Garcia.

No complications that had anything o do with dr. Garcia. You made a great choice. He has a lot of heart.

You stay I'm a hosp two nights and do three leak tests

Hey guys!! I leave tomorrow for a sleeve w Dr. Garcia. I'm excited but all of a sudden scared. My mom, sister, and best friend are now saying its a bad idea, which doesn't bother me. But they started saying they just "have a bad feeling" and it's creeping me out! Any words of encouragement for this superstitious head case?? Thanks!
