Dr. Garcia / Ready 4 A Change



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved with Dr. Garcia on 4/11 and had a great experience. I DO NOT promote ANY coordinators/doctors but I just want to let others know about my experience and that they will be in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend same day surgery to get it over with and I stayed at the hotel for two nights only and I am so glad I did! Dr. Garcia and his team are phenomenal...Any other questions please feel free to ask :)

I was sleeved by dr garcia Friday while I only saw him just before surgery his team and coordinators are amazing. nurses were great at florence and Dr Luna was post op doc he visited twice a day then took out staples in the hotel. Alma scheduled my surgery and patiently answered all my questions. Melissa takes care of the hospital stuff and checked on me several times. Rosie called as soon as I got to the hotel and everyday to see how I was feeling and if I needed anything. I leave in the morning back home have enjoyed the marriott though I wish I would have brought someone with me or just stayed two days(bored) so far im pleased with my experience.

I'm being sleeved April 26th by Dr. Garcia, I'm going by myself because my husband gets to stay home with our girls. I read one reply that someone went by their self. What did you do with your valuables and I.D. and things while you were in surgery?? I'm so nervous about everything. I am really glad to hear that everyone has had a pleasant experience with Ready4Achange and Dr. Garcia!! That alone eases my mind some :-)

They tied and locked my stuff in the hospital safe. They cut it open in front of you and wait for you to check that all your things are in there. I went alone. Hubby stayed home with the little ones too. Good luck to you!

Melissa took care of my things while I was doing testing before surgery, everything was in my hospital room when I came in. I did not request anything to be locked in the safe I brought a wheeled carry on suitcase and a little messenger bag, all I did is put my id/passport/cash inside my suitcase with a lock, nothing was messed with at all.

Melissa held onto my purse while I was in surgery. That's where my valuables were. She actually had it typed shut and cut it open on front of me. Ready 4 a Change, Florence Hospital staff and Team Garcia were fantastic. You will be in good hands from the time you get to San Diego. Don't worry !!!!

I went alone and my personal belongings were perfectly fine. I put them up in a draw and had no problems... I can assure you that you'll be fine @ florence with Dr. Garcia and his team!!!

If I was going alone, I would be leaving my jewellery at home. I have seen it advised to leave them at home just like you would if you were having surgery in your home city.

I actually left my iPhone and iPad out in the open in my room during surgery and after when I would walk the halls. I didn't have any problems.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
