74 days until I start my forever journey.

Thank you all for posting about your journeys with Dr. Garcia. It has helped me more than you'll ever know.

Did anyone do anything before hand to prepare? Diet?

Yes he does have a pre-op diet to follow. Just ask your co-ordinator and she will guide you as to when to start. All the best!! See you on the losers bench!!

I was instructed to do a clear liquid diet for two weeks before surgery. My surgery date is 1/17/13.

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.

All I did was go see my heart dr 2 weeks after surgery & did full blood work & then 3 months later. Am down to half a pill for blood pressure. I didn't have any issues from surgery & had high bp before surgery. I talk to my heart dr about the surgery & going to Mexico & he was so for it that he said he would do my follow-ups after surgery but I've been fortunate and haven't needed him.
