mrdr 247 Posted November 22, 2012 I am currently in Mexico and i was just sleeved by Dr. Garcia. The facility is great and so is the hotel that they put you in. Dr. Garcia was really hands on with his trusty ipad giving me a visual display of how and what he was going to do during the surgery. I will be going home in a day or so. Im feeling great and no complications so far.......fingers crossed! You will be fine. I was the only surgery for Dr. Garcia on the day that i came so it made me feel more comfortable that i was the only one for the day. Hope this helps......Message me if i can answer any questions for you. Good Luck 5 coolmamma73, Diamondeyed, JoJo57 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amytug 996 Posted November 22, 2012 Amy- how did you get in touch with Dr Garcia directly? I was watching some videos on YouTube that were made by Ready4Achange and his email was in the video. drgarciagovea@hotmail.com I'd love to hear what he says to you, in case you have questions I forget to ask. If that's ok with you. I mostly wanted to know what he does for an anticoagulant, and if I'd get his cellphone number to reach him with concerns and questions after surgery.

Sade326 43 Posted November 30, 2012 Hey All Mexico Sleevers(Dr.Garcia) Is there a follow up schedule for you and your primary care physician to follow? I know a lot of ppl who are having surgery in the US goes to see the doctors at certain points after surgery. So I wonder if the is a guideline for my physician to follow and things for her to check for at certain points after surgery? That would be so great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNEWME! 121 Posted November 30, 2012 Hey folks. Kinda off topic but I'm working to schedule my surgery with Dr.Garcia in February. I have found out all I needed to make my decision. But I have one more question. Do I need a passport book or just a passport card? My coordinator mentioned something about just having my ID and birth certificate. How did you all get there? Because I have to pay for both me and my mom and that would end up being expensive. We got just the passport card vs the book .. It was cheaper and faster. When I was there 4 weeks ago the boarder control did ask for our cards... But maybe u don't need them .. Not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
