Dr Garcia January 25th



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of booking January 25th with dr. F Garcia. Anyone else going at that time? I think I will be going alone so it would be great to meet others going at the same time.

I'm so scared to actually put my deposit down though. It's scary to go to another country for surgery.

I will probably be gone by then. :( I'm only staying the two days in the hospital and not going to the hotel afterwards.

I'm thinking of putting my deposit, but am still trying to figure out the day to schedule because of work. Will they allow you to leave upon discharge from the hospital?

Yes, but they said its only because I live in San Diego and could go back easily if I need to.

Congratulations Lulu on your decision. You won't be disappointed. I had my surgery on Sept 10th and have lost to date 62 pounds. You will meet others at the hotel don't worry about being there alone.

Where is all of your stuff when you are in surgery? Do you have to leave it in the hospital room? I was thinking about this the other night. My suitcase will have my phone, passport, money, all that junk in it.

Yes all your stuff is in your room. They will lock up your wallet but be careful we all seem to have $20.00 taken from it.

I'm glad my mom will be there and my sis. I can ask them to keep an eye on your stuff too. It's up to you.

Awww! Thank you so much! I may have someone coming with me, but that's not 100% yet. I sure hope so because I really don't want to go alone. Even though you will be there too!! :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
