Hello!

Congrats on your plans- I bet you're really excited. You may want to keep an eye out for patients of Dr. ILLAN since he uses florence, too. When I was there walking the halls after my surgery I noticed someone friendly-looking in the room next door. I sweetly spied on the white board on the nurses' wall and saw she was a patient of Dr. Garcia's. When I was near her on the hall walk I just said "hi--are you from the States? I'm a bariatric patient from the US" ( in case she wasn't bariatric -- didn't want to presume, lol). Of course she was and she became a fun buddy. Good luck -- you'll probably suddenly connect with a bunch of people. I know many docs use the Marriott, so the odds are in your favor for sure :).

Hi, I am also considering Dr Garcia, hopefully around the same time, but the email I received from one of his coordinator said I would stay at hotel pueblo amigo? Who did you contact to make your plans?

Can I ask what made you choose Dr. Garcia? I am still looking at several Drs but liked the florence hospital facility so am looking closer at Dr. Garcia. Any info you can pass on with regards to Dr. Garcia?

Thanks!

      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! 😞
