It's in a comment on a post. It's not a post he made' date=' but one he responded to.

The only thing with his answer that was odd to me is that he said the doctors will only go to the hotel to check on patients with a chaperone and said "the way it has ALWAYS been done." I was visited by Dr. Luna alone in my room. Obviously it was fine, but did everyone else have a chaperone with the doctor that visited them for Garcia (Luna or otherwise)? Not really a big issue, just curious :)[/quote']

Yup when dr Luna came and took my staples out he came with someone from the coordinating company

Weird! Maybe I was mouthy enough they figured I could handle myself alone with anyone! ;) Lol He was alone for me and the rest of the women in my group though. May have just been a one time/one week thing if they were understaffed or something. I had no idea they usually use a chaperone. That would have made me feel better about the whole situation in the beginning. Wouldn't change my opinion but definitely an important factor that I was unaware of!!

Maybe he's suspended for further investigation? After all it is just one person's word over another. Unless more come forward. I don't know. Dr. Garcia did seem very professional and concerned.

I still can't believe all the stink raised because a woman felt scorned because he didn't pay her enough attention so she decided to come on here bad mouth him then say she lied about it.

Obviously it didn't matter. He may lose his job because he may or may not have slept with her even though she was willing.

Everyone one here got bent out of shape about it because they said he was her dr. Well get over it. Crap like that happens everyday. Remember President Clinton? He didn't lose his job even though he was in a position of power.

Dr. Luna visited my room and removed my staples. He was very professional and made me feel at ease. He gave me a hug before he left but it did not feel like he was flirting at all. I feel bad for him from all this craziness these women on here have caused him.

I went with my mom and he knew she was with me (she met him way before I did and talked to him quite a bit while I was in the hospital) and he still came with Rosie. I always assumed he came with someone. He really shouldn't have gone alone at all to anyone's room.

How weird, I wonder why he didn't when we were there. We saw Irene at the hotel quite a bit, but she wasn't with him when he came. Like I said, must have been a one time/one week thing! I feel better knowing three normally is though!

If I'm not mistaken you were there the same time when his fling was right? Chances are he came alone that time to be with her...

Has it ever occured to you that maybe you didn't trip his trigger?

Oh yeah, that's a good point. Maybe he usually does but purposely avoided it this time because she was there! It would explain why my "group members" or whatever you wanna call them, and me are the only ones he came to alone!

We didn't go on any hot dates though, so I didn't think too awfully much of it and he didn't try to Mack on me so.....

Yes at the "hospital"

But it was weird. When he came to the hotel room he had an attitude. He was a little cold w me, I felt. No sexual energy, that's for sure. Maybe I was putting off "happily married mom of 6 who just got sliced and isn't feeling her prettiest anyway " vibes all up in there. Lol

I could barely get in the bed, much less in a doggy position. rofl

Who knows.

I was very much alone in TJ and never had Dr Luna act inappropriate.

The original poster needs mental help. I also know the backstory on her and the gaggle of friends who were at first defending her since we were all in a small FB group together for a short time before I left due to their craziness.

SEEK MENTAL HELP

This entire thing has been an attention heat seeking rocket. If the OP (I know exactly who you are) did have consensual sex on Day 4 after suffering with surgical bloat like the rest of us (I nearly burst out laughing from the visual), then you attempting to destroy a man's career is some serious **** Karma for you.

you should be ashamed of yourself.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
