made2beme 119 Posted July 8, 2012 Dr Garcia's website is www.obesitysolutionsinternational.com He is $5,000 in a hospital with Cardiology and ICU units Alma (coordinator) - alma@ready4achange.com Phone - 210-745-1114 Melissa (Patient advocate at hospital) - melly@obesityintl.com Dr. Garcia - drgarciagovea@hotmail.com I have my passport already, but hubby has one that is expired (by a yr). We are not going to renew his as it cost just as much as a brand new one, he will just take his expired one (he's still the same person right?) and his Birth certificate and ID....I think it will be just fine!
