How about patients that are seriously considering DR. Garcia?

IM TIRN BETWEEN 2 surgeons, Garcia and another.

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
