Mexico 99% Garcia 1% Unsure



Recommended Posts

I booked my surgery with Dr. Garcia and I am giving my deposit next month.

I initially wanted Dr. Alvarez but learned he was 8700.00 plus flights. I bought his booked and he has a HUGE following on Facebook, blogs, web. I started saving but then read about Dr Garcia. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about him. Has anyone else been thinking of waiting and save for other Doc's?

I personally wanted Dr. Rodriguez but chose Dr. Garcia. If I was going to pay that much, I would pay a little more and just get it done here in the states.

For me, I have heard nothing but great things from both Dr's, so at that point, its the price that made the difference for me :)

      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.
