Anyone go to Mexico and have Gastric Bypass with Dr. Fernando Garcia?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to decide on a doctor in Tijuanna to have my bypass done. I think I have narrowed it down to Dr. Garcia. Anyone want to share their experience with their doctor? It would be greatly appreciated!!

No experience yet to share. Just submitted my medical info to them a couple days ago. I was debating between him and Illan and ultimately chose him because I found good reviews on several sites. Seems Illan is only talked about on this site. Ive yet to find anything bad. Shooting for 2nd week of october

Mine is set for the 17th. It was tough trying to decide between the sleeve and bypass. Ultimately, because of my GERD, I chose the bypass. I am a little nervous.

I just had mine with Jorge Maytorena at Long Term VSG 8/30/16 for $3499. No problems so far and great experience.

I used Dr Garcia in May for VGS revision. GREAT experience. Wouldn't change a thing. I used Dr Ortiz in 2011 for my band he and his staff were great too. Just too expensive for my sleeve revision. Dr Garcia charged $5200 for revision and Ortiz wanted $8000. No brainer. Good Luck, you will be in good hands. My post op was super uneventful and NO gas pains :)

I am considering Dr. Garcia too. All the reviews I have found have been great. I was also thinking about Dr. Ramos Kelly however, I read some reviews that concerned me. I need to make a choice soon, kinda want to do this before the end of the year so I can start 2017 off right!

I chose Garcia after loads of research. Its a pretty fast process once its started. Im going to book next week and pay the deposit. They said they can get me in 2 to 3 weeks after

      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.

      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! 😞
