Dr. Garcia success story :)



Recommended Posts

I'm officially 4 months out tomorrow and down nearly 50lbs-woot woot! Wanted to share this pic. The before was taken the day after surgery so I was def. more bloated then usual(lookin all sexy in my hospital gown with my drainage tube and pole) the after was taken last week. I was out hiking with my 1y.o german shepherd pup and outlasted her! I ended up having to cut the hike short cause I could tell she was dragging :)

Thanks everyone. It does feel awesome to be active, I feel more alive now. I was just thinking today that if I never lost another pound I would be completely content. I may just be "average" sized now but I love it. I do however want to lose as much as possible. I remember when I first started researching this surgery someone saying that you should lose as much weight as possible in the beginning in case you have any regain. So to err on the safe side I'm going to try and lose another 10-20lbs.

Thanks all :) my hope is that in posting this in the wake of the Dr. Luna scandal people who are scheduled with Dr. Garcia will feel confident in their decision. I'd hate for the recent drama to stop people from making the step to do something that can be a positive life change.

      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! 😞
