I had Fernando Garcia. I had a good experience overall. You will like him.

I love reading so many wonderful things about him. I have only heard one negative and that was because a woman had a heart issue that was not disclosed. Did you have your surgery at Florence Hospital? That is where I will be staying

I was at Mi Doctor. He may have changed since then. I know he started the single incision surgery shortly after I had my surgery in November too. I really liked him. Very soft spoken and smiley.

I work in Magnolia and the commute is very time comsuming so can't walk until 6:30-7ish. Is that too late? Maybe okay when it stays light later in the months?

I am in University Place and having my revision May 10th. very nervous but need to do this. I was originally going to use Dr Aceves, but he quoted me $11,000 as I am self-pay. I am instead using Dr Fernando Garcia after a ton of research. I think I am in good hands if Alma is any sign of what to expect. She is very thorough :)

I live in Lakewood having surgery (also revision) on May 23. I went with Dr. Quinones.< /p>

Do you (or anyone) ever go to the support group at the Poodle Dog? I think I will attend on May 14.

      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.
