Saturday surgery with Dr Garcia? Please share experiences.



Recommended Posts

I am considering having my surgery on a Saturday with Dr Garcia because it works best with my work schedule. Please share your good and bad experiences with Saturday surgery. I'm concerned that the hospital care may not be as good on the weekend.

I thought so- I met a nice Garcia patient when there. I checked in to florence on a Sunday night at 9:30 & it was kind of quiet, but I can't speak to how it would be on a Saturday. The day-2 (Sunday) environment might be the most concerning (?). Hopefully someone will post details.

I had Lapband removed and was sleeved by dr Garcia@ Florence Hospital January 2nd . I had lapband surgery with Dr Sanchez in 2007 Monterey , I went through Ready4Achange both times but I have to say that my experience with Dr Garcia and the team at florence hospital was absolutely amazing the care was awesome !! they checked on me all the time everyone was so very professional the nurse say they speak only a little English but I speak no Spanish and never once had a problem communicating with anyone . I had no real nausea problems, very little pain I was out shopping 3days after surgery feeling great ,, incision a little sore but that's it ! Great experience everyone is beautiful and so wonderful in Tijuana !!!

I checked with my surgeon's FB group for you & 3 people came forward & said they didn't find a thing wrong with the weekend care at florence. (2 were Fri surgeries & one was a Sat. Surgery). Best wishes as you get your plans finalized!

Did you pick a Saturday date yet? I'm having mine on Saturday, March 8th and was also concerned about having the surgery on a Saturday. However, after reading all the good posts and information about Dr. Garcia and staff I know I picked the right date and doctor for me. I know there was one other person scheduled the same Saturday that I picked so I was just wondering if that might of been you.

I already had my surgery with Dr Elias Ortiz. I actually had surgery on a Friday afternoon. I flew in the same day and was his only surgical case that day. I was at Mi Doctor Hospital and had a great experience. I spent the weekend in the hospital and everything there was fine.

Good luck to you next Saturday! You will be so happy you had the surgery.

      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?

      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
