Surgery with Dr. Garcia May 21-questions?

[csutton22 3]

I have my gastric sleeve scheduled for May 21 with Dr. Garcia at Florence Hospital in Tijuina. I have a lot of questions? I am in the medical field and I have several family members who are in the medical field. So they are scared and I am also scared! Does anyone know if they check after the surgery for leakages?

They check 3 times while you are there. I will be there on May 17th!

So glad that I went with Dr Garcia! Yes as said from previous posters, he does 3 leak test, one in the OR and the other two the follow day. I was originally having surgery here in the states with one of our top surgeons and found out he doesn't do any leak tests! So I'm glad I was denied my insurance and went to MX. (Surgery was feb18th). Good luck. Dr Garcia had a great team!

I'm an ARNP and my partner is a family physician, and I chose to go to Dr. Garcia March 29. You will have the best of care....post op meds are scheduled and given on time, call light is answered right away...I recommend Dr.Garcia's team without reservations.
