Recommended Posts

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!

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....

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

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
