I was sleeved dec 24 2012, and I am already down to 244lbs. I feel so much better and I can't wait to see what I way in another six months. Life is already so much better.

My husband, daughter and myself went with dr.fernando Garcia. Him and his team were amazing and mi hospital was lovely. You can book dr.garcia through ready 4 a change or through medical tourism. And the Marriott hotel is wonderful. Good luck with your choice. -

My husband, daughter and myself were sleeved dec 24th 2013 with dr.Garcia. It was the best choice for us. Dr. Garcia and his team were amazing, and the Marriott hotel was beautiful. We have had no problems, getting fluids in, proteins etc. I would highly recommend dr.Garcia, but it is each persons choice. Good luck with your choice. -

Getting Sleeves 12/24!
kim67 replied to Back2Me2012's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, so ended up getting surgery on the 24th because of flight delays etc. how are you doing? I am doing ok, the first couple of days were rough. I had low oxygen levels in my blood and high sugar, so lots of oxygen and insulin was given which made it hard to keep walking around to get rid of the gas, but I am feeling much better now. The doctors were amazing here in Tijuana. Let me know how you are doing, and here's to 2013 where we will be newer healthier people. Oh and merry christmas. Kim -
So my husband, daughter and myself were sleeved by Dr. Fernando Garcia in Tijuana two days ago, I have to say what a wonderfully team they were. They made us feel safe and were very reassuring. I would defiantly recommend Dr.Garcia. We are ow at the Marriott hotel which is lovely for the next two days. We are keeping all fluids down and walking around lots. We will keep in touch with our progress.

Yes we will post lots of pics and let you know how things are going. Its good to be able to do it as a family and just have good food in the household.

Who Are The Best Gastric Sleeve Surgeons In Mexico ? Decisions Decisions!
kim67 replied to Hoping2BSleeved's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
i have booked my surgery with dr. Garcia in december, he has done lots of surgerys and he works from the MI hospital (which had good ratings) I did lots of research into lots of doctors in Mexico and the prices varied reatly. we all have to remember that the drs in Mexico do these surgerys all the time, and the death rate is very very low. I don't think it matters where we go or who with have the surgery with, we all take the risk of complications or even death. we just have to go with whom we feel safe with......follow your gut instinct. good luck :) -
