:)Hi all!

I am a newbie to this board. But, have researched, several other sites & boards. So far, I haven't heard anything bad about Dr. de la Garza;-) , but I want to know everthything, good & bad, before, I close the deal! I am planning on going & having my surgery, Nov. 11th, of this year. Also, we have vacationed in MX, several times, but never where they have mountains, always beach towns, except Laredo. Hubby & I are excited about the surgery & visiting a new city in MX! :Bunny Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

AlGal, go to the Blue Bar along the top of the page and click Search, type in de la Garza and several threads come up with his name mentioned. Several here have been to de la Garza, and I don't know of any complaints off-hand, but dig around to be sure. Good luck!

Not many posts to sift through, but any info helps!!!

Huggs!

I am looking at this Dr. also. Please let me know what you find.

I called a number i found on this forum. I spoke with a lady that told me she was a nurse and that the price ($8,000)with Dr. garza included airfare, two nights in the hosp. and two in a motel, it was done in OCA Hospital, and that she would take care of the fills free right here in Bakersfield, CA and i would not have to go to Mx for them.

Sounds almost too good to be true!

Could I get some feed back on this?

I went to de la Garza and thought he was great, and the OCA was really nice, too. Everyone was very friendly. When I woke up after surgery i didn't even believe i had any thing done i felt so great. Nina is so great and so sweet.

I walked around Monterry with my DH, we went to a comtempory arts museam(sp?). Went to a park, a really BIG park. It was really nice. They have this really big fountian of Neptune and a bunch of little Water creatures. Very cool.

I think you'll really like. The OCA is more like a hotel than a hospital.

If you have any more ??'s just ask.

Feel free to email me at LollarRanch@AOL.com

I will be banded by Dr. De La Garza 2/3, I'm excited and a little nervous. I've never been down into Mexico, only to border towns...tell me more about the hospital and the city. Please. Tammy

Hi All,

I was banded by Dr. De la Garza back in June, and he was awesome. I went by myself and everyone was so nice and hospitable. The hospital rooms were huge. The nurses and anesthesiologist were all wonderful. I really liked the anesthesiologist. He came and visited me twice after the surgery to make sure everything was O.K. Everyone there was very thorough and professional. They really care about how their services are rated. I had to complete at least 3 different surveys about my stay before I left. I went alone but never felt lonely because of all the friendly people there. I have no regrets and have not had any complications. I've lost 53 pounds since then. Only need 6 more pounds to reach my goal weight of 150!!!

I also used Dr De LA GAza and thought the whole experience was great. for the price of 8,000 you get an awful lot. the surgery ,anesthesia, nite in hospital and 2 in hotel(which is part of hospital) Meals, meds to take home and the airfare. Plus free Dr for life and fluoro for 2 years. I am going back in 2 weeks by myself for my first fill and dont feel nervous about being alone. Nina takes good care of you.

Can anyone give me info on how to find out about this dr? I will have to be doing self pay and if the dr is good and it includes all of this it would be greatly appreciated. I so suck at trying to search for information of any sort.

The website you need is www.litenfree.com it should give u all the info you need. just call Nina and she will set everything up for you including the flight. email meif u need any other help. Judy

I went in May and had my surgery done, but I think I met a new patient coordinator from Litenfree. Her name was Stephanie, I thinks he replaced Nina since she had a baby. I worked with both of them, but Stephanie met me when I got there. She was wonderful too. She is actually from Arkansas so that made me feel a ton better too. She helped me with everything I needed. I had Dr. De la Garza too and he was wonderful. I loved him and the anesthesiologist. He was wonderful, the whole team was. I would recommend him to anyone!!! Please email if you want my story, MollieBeth.smith@yahoo.com I would be glad to talk to anyone.

I used him, too , and went alone...

Me too. It was great. Went alone also.
