Has anyone used this company associated with Dr. Garcia? I've mainly talked with r4ac patients and Alma, but I've spoken with Alisha from Tijuana Bariatrics and like her a lot :) any reviews?

I have signed up with Tijuana Bariatrics. My surgery date is 8/28. Alisha has been great so far! Will keep everyone posted.

I had posted a questions just like this about a week ago. I see a lot of great reviews about Dr. Garcia but have seen nothing about Alisha. She has been very nice to work with so far but I want to make sure that everything is on the up and up. Has anyone used her and Tijuana Bariactrics directly?

Does it concern anyone when surgeons are booking through multiple coordinating companies?

 

How do they all keep track of the surgeons schedule? They're competitors, not coworkers.

Hey Jesser! I had this same exact question. I went ahead and asked her why there was NOTHING about her or Tijuana Bariactrics anywhere. She said that this is a new practice that Dr. Garcia has created. He is still working with Ready4Achange but wanted to have his own as well. Alisha was a patient of his and now works for him. They have only been taking patients through Tijuana Bariatrics for about a week. She has been great so far. She is always availible by phone and returns emails pretty quickly. My two friends and I are scheduled for surgery on August 28th so I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully without a hitch!

It's the exact reason I prioritized a surgeon with an in-house coordinator. I guess it works, as a great deal of doctors do work with more than one company. I just wasnt comfortable with it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
