I think the most important thing is that if your Doctor denies any complications from leaks for his patients when you know thats not true - that ought to be the real red flag. All surgeons will have patients encounter complications from time to time, but the surgeons that lie about it are the ones that you ought to be wary of the most.

Can you please clarify which Facebook link that indicates Dr. Garcia? Could you possibly paste the link Here?

this is the website I found that makes me believe doctor garcia is who they are talking about http://tijuanabariatriccenter.com/ the website the other person gave is a mexican website that is in spanish but it could be either idk

Here is another story on Global News about another woman from BC complaining of a leak after gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Almanza.

If there wasn't a 3.5 year wait list to get the surgery in BC on the public health care system, people wouldn't be paying to have it done elsewhere.

Over the years that I have been researching, I have read MANY terrible stories on this Dr.... not saying they were true, because I don't know. But it was enough for me to not want to go to him!

      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! 😞
