I have heard nothing but good things about him, I think you made a great choice... of course this is a very personal decision tho. I'm sorry i haven't been to him, I'm actually scheduled with Dr Ponce on 9-14 but I went back n forth between Ponce, Garcia and Kelly for weeks and finally just picked one LOL

do a search for Dr Garcia, you will find tons of good stuff about other peoples' experiences!! also you can go to obesityhelp.com and do the same thing.

I had surgery with Dr. Garcia and it was a great experience! Everything on the websites I looked at was represented exactly how it was, and all the reviews I read on this site and through google were accurate! If you use the search bar at the top right, you can find a lot of info and reviews of Dr. Garcia. I booked my surgery through alighterme and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! The only complaint I had was that their pre-op diet info wasn't super detailed so I had quite a few questions, but whenever I asked, I always got quick responses!

I haven't been sleeved yet but after a lot of searching and reading I have decided to go with Dr. Garcia I am going Nov 7th.

Best of luck to you!

[ready2bskinny 31]

Thank you I love reading all responses!! Good luck to you too;)

Im sxd with Dr Garcia in Mexico October 27. I chose him due a couple of reasons:

There are a bunch of great reviews for him on this forum. If you go to the top right of the page and type in Dr Garcia Mexico in the search bar and make sure "forum "is selected, not members, or blogs, etc...you should have a bunch of good stuff to peruse.Ive only read one negative experience, and it wasn't pinpointed to bad care...she said she was expecting better aftercare... If you search, you'll find her experience, but that's one in many. He has a long list if credentials that included teaching others how to do the sleeve.

He uses a hospital, not a clinic. They are a full services hospital there, and if something does happen, they're well prepared to handle any situation.

The price was totally a factor! Not solely because i wanted to save $500-1000, but think about it: he's offering a special, peeps are gonna schedule and have been like crazy, and he'll have that many more surgeries under his belt!! After reading all the positive experiences along with all the other bonuses, i was pretty confident in my decision. The docs in Mexico have done many more sleeve surgeries than our docs here in the states. Numbers are big to me. I want experience. Im good with my decision and I've been researching for several months...good luck! Keep us posted:-)

I'm def going to do that right now thank you;)

I feel I've made the right choice but my mom keeps talking about US drs that of course I can't afford she's not against it but just wants me to be 100% sure which is understandable I'm a mom myself its normal to worry but she makes me second guess my decision. Best wishes to you ill def try to keep you posted
