I see that Dr. Garcia has gotten very popular around this site :) I've heard so many positive things so far, and he's got a very reasonable price. I'm wondering if anyone has had any negative experience with him at all? Just weighing all of my options on the surgeons is all. :) thanks! If I could come up with the money, I will probably go with Dr. Alvarez because he's over here by me in Tx, and I've heard great things about him. But if I can't get a loan, I may have to decide on a less expensive surgeon and I'm definitely considering Garcia! :)

Was sleeved by Dr. Garcia March 20, 2012. Can't not say enough good about him, his team, his nurses, the hospital, and the hotel - from Alma the coordinator to my flight home everything was smooth and professional - could not have been more happy then or now - good luck with your choice!!!!!

I was sleeved by Garcia in April. I posted my experience on here. I didnt have anything negative to say. Check out my post if you can find it on here. There were a couple of things though that were a little diffrent then what I expected. That being said I am tickled with my progress (110 lbs) over the last four months. I would have the sleeve again and would use Garcia again. Good luck!!!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
