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 :)

      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.
