Anyone going to Dr. Fernando Garcia between May 6 and May 11?



Recommended Posts

There is also another group on fb that is for mexico sleevers. Alot of the people on there are going to Dr. Garcia or have already been there. I am already part of this group. Would you all be interested in just being added to that group. I think that would be great to have you all added to that group. It is secret, but I could ask the lady to add everyone. Loads of info and experiences on there specifically to Dr. Garcia and both hospitals.

I would be keen for our own little group for people having surgery within a few days... Then we can specifically ask how their progress is going and make sure we are all healing well?

I would prefer you create a group outside of the 2013 Mexico Sleevers. Thanks!

will you be staying at the Marriott like the rest of us? I would imagine that you will be released to the hotel on the same night I fly in (the 9th).

 

It might be good if we all PM each other our first/last names and phone numbers so we can check on each other for support. I am guessing if I tell the Marriott "I am looking for 1hotmomma" they will think I have lost my mind. LOL

I am not doing the spider. Not because of cost, but primarily because from my lapband surgery, you cannot even see the incisions that were there after a year. It is just not important to me, but totally understand everyone else wanting to do it.

I saved this article from yesterday as I have had this happen. 30 minutes in TJ without realizing I had not turned off my data package. $200 later.

I could have bought a great pair of shoes in 30 minutes. :unsure:

I wanna pipe in here and say that you guys will not be disappointed with dr. Garcia.

Don't forget to ask for pics!! I got pics of my actual sleeve, the stapling while it was happening, and the portion they took out.

I'd add it but I'm afraid some might not want to see.

Eek. Sorry to anyone that saw the "rough draft". It was a mess.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
