Just Another Confirmation Dr.garcia Is The Right Choice For Me :)



Recommended Posts

The package provided by the doctor covers the gatorade and all the goodies that you get after surgery. that does not come from the coordinator....you should get that no matter what company you use.

Although the coordinator may be the one that gets you the extras that you request..

I used A Lighter Me an Dr Garcia, both were fantastic. The people at A Ltr Me took very good care of me. It was easy to schedule and I paid $4700. I'm 4 weeks postop, down 21 pounds since start of preop diet, feeling great. Trying to increase my calories, if you can imagine!

I scheduled with Dr. Garcia through Ready 4a Change. My sister in law had him as her surgeon in July and could not raving about how good not only he was but also Alma, Samuel, and his assistants. My insurance would not pay and so I was left with a self pay option and could not afford the $10,000+ I was repeatedly quoted in the US. I also got the $4700 price from Dr. Garcia which was much les than what my SIL spent with him. Were thinking its because its an off season price? I am so excited for this though and am counting down the days until October 15th!!!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
