I find it funny you are still talking trash like he did do something when she said he didn't! This is the internet and people like to MAKE UP things for attention and people like you give fuel to the fire when you continue to say that you believed he slept with her when she said he DID NOT.

Uhm....ok.

I will stand by my thought that Dr.Garcia is clearly a gifted and well respected surgeon. If he did not feel his staff was in the wrong, he would not have let Luna go. I am sure all the patients who have worked with Dr. Garcia in the past trust him and trust his decision to do the right thing.

I have no need to prove to you what else I know. I will leave it at that and wish you a good night! Your opinion of me means little to naught.

I don't understand why being his patient has anything to do with....well ....anything. My uncle seemed like a great man. Always nice to me. Made me laugh all the time. In my eyes everyone liked to be around him. I wasn't aware that behind my back he was beating my aunt and abusive to my two young cousins.

I didn't say I have an opinion of you. Just makes me angry when someone is accused of something they didn't do and how do you know he was let go? Just because someone on here said he was?

I'm sorry I've made some of you angry it was not my intention. I just want people to stop defending her like she did nothing wrong.

Well it is idk possible that maybe some people go straight to the company instead of blasting it on the Internet. I highly doubt a guy would lose his job over one flimsy claim

I find it funny you are still talking trash like he did do something when she said he didn't! This is the internet and people like to MAKE UP things for attention and people like you give fuel to the fire when you continue to say that you believed he slept with her when she said he DID NOT.

Then does it matter that she's said multiple times to me that she did sleep with him (both before and after the retraction ... with time stamps to prove it)? Does it matter that there is proof of their relationship? Does it matter that I spoke to him about it myself?! lol

I swore I wouldn't comment again, but some of you are killing me! I kept the evidence that I have only to protect myself, because some one messaged me a pretty nasty little message about how I could be sued for slander. Let's be clear though, I'm not worried about a lawsuit one bit. Not only because I only said truthful things, but because Dr. Luna is well aware of what I know, what he and I discussed personally and what has been forwarded to me by the OP.

And I will say again... No, of course there wouldn't have been anything said to his employers if they stayed together and at their wedding we probably would have all laughed about how they met! (Again, not in a position now that I want to put my neck out defending her, but...) The OP didn't post because she was simply a woman scorned. She posted because she genuinely felt tricked into believing it was more than a one night stand by someone she believed, in part, because of his position as her attending physician. She WAS embarrassed and ashamed of falling for it and hopping into bed with him, which is why she posted under a fake name. By the way, there is no anonymity with Dr. Garcia or Ready 4 a Change. They know who she is. But she fully admits that she was wrong too and shouldn't have jumped into bed with someone just because they sweet talked her.

But, all of that is beside the point that a lot of people here are trying to make. Consensual as it was, he was in a position that prohibits the behavior he displayed. He knew very well what the consequences were when he started but likely thought he could talk his way through it, even when she realized he wasn't interested long term... And he almost succeeded!! He got her to retract at least. But in the end, the evidence was just too overwhelming to talk his way out of. And in the US, not only are doctors prohibited from sleeping with their patients (and yes, that definitely includes consensual sex, or even if they were "seduced"), and in some fields, that doctor can actually face CRIMINAL charges for that consensual sex. And as far as that goes, when I worked for a hotel there was a very strict policy against dating guests. We would have long term guests (up to a year sometimes) and if I was caught sleeping with one of them, I would have been let go as well.

As a patient, I was more than happy with every aspect of my medical care from Dr. Garcia and even Dr. Luna. However, when you break the rules of your employment, you lose that employment. There are many reasons why doctors aren't allowed to sleep with patients. If you are arguing against that restriction, then that's a different conversation. But for this topic, it doesn't matter how willing each one was, the rules were black and white!

You keep saying she told you she did several times. She told us she did also then she said she lied so what else should we believe?

Also if what you say is true then I don't think she should have aired her dirty laundry on this forum because we are all (myself included) arguing with each other on this forum about it.

Lol well, if you're determined to follow ONE piece of the puzzle, I can't help you. Yes, she retracted and said she lied. She has told the same story for 2 months to friends, and in ONE post she said it was untrue (after a long night of sweet talk from the doc), and then followed up to me, in writing, saying that she would rather people think she is a liar, than him lose his job.

But again, if you're determined to look at one piece, and assume its complete factuality and abandon all others, then I don't know what to tell you. You keep saying "she LIED" but ironically you're 100% convinced you know WHEN she lied! Lol

      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!
