DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA



Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I am just searching to see if anyone will be traveling to Mexico on December 8th to be sleeved on December 9th? These are the days that I will be there (Dec. 8th-13th) and I wanted to be able to have that buddy system for support. Thanks

My 2 daughters are scheduled for surgery Dec 8th but with dr. A Ortiz. They will be in the Marriott though. I think everyone stays there regardless which dr selected. I will be traveling with them.

Oh Great!!! Please let me know about your experience! I will keep you in my prayers :) You have less than 30 days to go! Are you getting nervous yet? I am sooo happy for you!

I'm going to see him exactly a month before you. I'm getting sleeved nov 6. I will post my experience after.

Yes, it will be good to meet up with you. I had the Sleeve surgery over 3 months ago and my daughters are also going with the sleeve procedure. We will be in the hotel the night of the 7th. When we get closer to that date I will get back in touch with you and we can set up a place and time to meet.

I am starting to get really nervous. I think about the "what ifs" a lot because I have two small children. I'm really scared of something going wrong. But I know this is for the best and its going to help be live a longer healthier life.

I can relate but now that I am on the other side as they say I can see how much this is all worth it! Going to Mexico has its own concerns and I cannot speak to that as my surgery was here in the US. BUT with that said I can tell you I have done tons of research and read ALL the posts here on this site. I truly think that there are good surgeons in Mexico, and for those that cannot pay the huge medical fees charged here in the US, I am soooo thankful that the Mexico self pay option is exactly that, an option! I am extremely close to both my daughters and I cannot imagine life without them. If I did not think Dr. A. Ortiz was a safe option I would certainly be holding them back. It will all go splendidly well and we can all be on the losers bench in January!

 I will be arriving in San Diego at 2:55pm, and then leaving at 6:15pm on the 13th. We should definitely get together while we are there. I am super excited!! I already started packing my carry on, lol. Have you started dieting yet? I have kinda started this week just to ease my way into it even though the plan I was given had me starting later.

      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! 😞
