What is the pricing for Dr. Garcia? Also what are the airports people are using besides San Diego?

The cheapest airline tickets I found was through United Airlines. Just go to every airline website and enter the dates in and they will quote you a price. :)

Kayak.com is great about pricing the major airlines. Southwest and frontier do not come up in their searches so you have to do them separately.

Dr. Garcia is $4700 and is all inclusive of 3 total nights at the marriott and two nights in the hospital..all things are covered except for air fare...they do charge this price for all BMIs up to 50 and then do a step increase after that for up to and over 70bmi. Airfare to San Diego depends on when you buy...i bought with in a month or so of the surgery and during the summer monthes, so was higher, about $400...on expedia.com....that is the airport everyone uses though...I'm actually here right now waiting for my procedure to begin! :) Good luck~

I bought thru Southwest.com and only paid $98 each way flying from Salt Lake City to San Diego. I'm pretty sure there isn't any other airport they use, because your driver will pick you up and drive you across the border. Completely safe!!

I head they have better rates if you book on Tuesdays, don't know if that's true but worth a look! Do you need a passport for Mexico or is the birth certificate & valid ID still work!?

Update....Southwest is in fact cheaper on Tuesdays. I looked into booking airfare last Thursday because I need my itinerary for surgery date confirmation & looked from Sacramento to San Diego & it was $165 one way & decided to wait to check today & tada it's only $98 each way, would think since its only an hour and half flight it would be cheaper!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
