How many surgeries does Dr. Garcia do a day?

 

When I spoke to the coordinator for Dr. Garcia she told me "there days when he has 1 and days when he has five or six, but on average he only does about 3-4 per day". This information was from Michelle Medkoff at Tijuana Bariatrics. She was really nice about answering questions.

True, the amount of his surgeries vary day to day. I saw the surgery board when I arrived and he had did about 4 or surgeries the day before and I was his only patient on the day I had my surgery.

You can also ask if you can go first if you are worried about how many he does a day.

I don't think he does more than 4 per day. My wife and I had ours and we were the only two on that day. Looking at the surgery board I only saw him do 3 one day that week and no days more than that.

Both my wife and I highly recommend Dr. Garcia. The nursing staff and hotel you stay at are also great.

My husband and I both have Surgery booked with him July 17th is anyone else going to be down there that time?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
