If he has done it once or twice he has done it over and over. Think about how many patients they see a thousand per year, conservatively. How many women has he taken advantage of? Daunting thinking about it.

I hope it's not the case (because I hope our forum wouldnt delete something like this) but I am thinking either the OP decided it wasn't a good idea after all or the "Doctor" and again I use that term loosely, complained.

Ill out myself as someone who pm'd Laura this morning.

He said those things to me too.

He knew me before I arrived and was "excited to meet me"

He asked me of I'd read anything about him being unprofessional. I hadnt. He reassured me that if I did, it wasn't true.

Told me while I was still under the affects from anesthesia that I was beautiful and I was the type of woman that didn't need makeup to make me beautiful. Made it a point to bring It up again later and asked if I remembered what he had said.

For the record, I'm a happily married woman and didn't take the bait. I am sure he's a liar as well. Other things he told me just didn't line up.

He seemed short with me and frustrated while at the hotel. I didn't really understand why, after he'd been so sweet and smiley. Maybe it was because I told one of the night nurses that he was a flirt?

I LOVE DR. GARCIA though. This dr. Luna thing needs to be addressed. Dr. Luna I know you're reading. SO disappointed in you.

Thank you for being brave enough to come forward. It is my sincere hope that the forum's administration can be decent enough to avoid sacrificing the dignity of young women for financial interests by deleting this information.

Personally i think its no ones business who he is with...if the lady which is not a minor consented its their business..

It was Ok until she found out he was dating other women...she is scorned...but in all other countries Dr.s act less professional and you can take it a different way if you are not from the same culture.

Thank you. I just read through it and can honestly say its been a while since my emotions changed so quickly while reading through a thread. I only hope that in the end the medical practice does the right thing and he is appropriately dealt with.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
