Garcia charges 5,000$, I've heard oly good things about him and everybody who went there for surgery. Yes it's at a hospital. If you go to ready for a change.com you can get more info and talk to a coordinator.Good Luck!

A little bit but all the great things I keep hearing about Dr. Garcia on this site are really helping me. I'm excited to start a new life mostly.

Just curious - have either of you with Dr. Garcia received any type of written confirmation of your scheduled surgery? I dont know why, but I just started thinking what if I get all the way there and I am not actually scheduled. I mean, we pay our deposit and trust a coordinator that just says we are scheduled.....

Im sure its fine, just wondering if anyone else has received or requested a confirmation of any sort?

I received a final confirmation once I completed my paperwork and faxed it in. Consent form, etc.

I am also having surgery with Dr Garcia on July 18. I have been speaking with Alma who has been quick to reply and is just wonderful. She forwarded me an email from the doctor saying I was approved. Upon paying my deposit I received a receipt which also confirms my surgery. Can't wait to hear those nurses with their new "Aussie" accents.lol

Dr. Garcia and his team are fabulous...I had my surgery Nov. 7th 2011. Surgery is done in a hospital which was very clean. Nursing staff were excellent. No worries. So happy I had my surgery in Mexico. I am down 76 lbs...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
