It's a hard decision Amy! My advice is to search Dr Garcia on this forum and google. Read the reviews, as I did. You will not find a negative comment (or at least I haven't).

For me, between the reviews and the cost and the raving reviews on the hospital he uses, I am confident with my choice. I know there are a few really reputable Dr's mentioned on this board, so you will be in good hands either way!!

Good luck :)

I've actually just decided that I want to be sleeved by dr Garcia!! It boils down to the fact that between the 2 I'd narrowed it down to, he seems sweeter and more personable. And he speaks English! Instinct.

Phew. It feels so freeing to have decided!!

I'd like to join. :)

Hi, My experience has been GREAT!!! I also went through Ready 4 a Change and they are just sweethearts from Samuel that picked us up to Melissa and Rosie the coordinators that the hotel and hospital and then alma from before the surgery just awesome!

Dr.Garcia he is such a sweetheart too!! He came in before surgery to talk to me and explain everything and then during my 2 night hospital stay I would say he came in at least 3 or 4 times to talk to me to see how I was doing. Dr. Valasco (I think this was her name she has the curly hair) she also came around to check on me a few times. I felt compared to having surgery in the US (in general) the staff and Dr. over here in Mexico are a lot better when it comes to bedside manner and after care. I have had numerous surgeries in the US and never seen my surgeron after.

The only problem I had - and this has nothing to do with the company/hospital or doctor is that the pain meds that they were giving me after surgery kept making me nasuas and sick so it came to a point when I finally figured it out I had to tell them (nurses) no more tramadol or the other pain meds and after they stopped I started feeling a bit better and when all of the meds left my system by that time I finally was back in the hotel and feeling a lot better. :)

Also, my sister and a few others had gone out today to do a little shopping with the driver from Ready4Achange which was also nice ( I wanted to sleep so I stayed in).

If I had to do it again I would still choose Dr.Garcia and Ready4Achange in a heartbeat. I had read many reviews on the boards before making my decision and let me just say now I can personally say that the stories are true and you will be in great hands and have a great experience.

See you on the losers bench!! :)

I would love to join that. Dr Garcia was great and I have had no problems with the surgery part. I did have some issues with my allergies though. I had some troubles with the nurses and night docs, but Dr Velasco, Dr Garcia and Dr Luna were really great!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
