Choices Choices - F.Garcia (TJ), Aceves (Mexicali), Alvarez (Piedras Negras)



Recommended Posts

I have read really great things about the doctors above. I have narrowed it down to these 3 doctors. I'm sure there are other very competent doctors in Mexico but I'm requesting feedback on only the 3 above. The all work out of hospitals and have monitored recovery at a hospital & hotel.

Anyway...sound off on your favorite Doctor! (as long as its one of the 3 above)

I live in San Diego and have already contacted Ready4change who are the coordinators for Dr. Garcia 5700 this includes everything.

(this includes 1000 extra for a single incision using the spider surgical system)

 

I'm a lightweight BMI about 32 with no co-morbidities. I think that Dr. Aceves & Dr. Alvarez are about 8700 each so thats 3000 more than Dr. Garcia that could go for a boob job so I dont have little chicken cutlets hanging around *think gwyneth paltrow oscar dress - it aint pretty :o *

Actually more because the other 2' date=' I would need to add transportation.

 

Still money isn't the only consideration, I want to make sure that I'm making the correct decision for myself.

 

I'm active....after readying other threads I'm thinking of requesting a bougie of 36 - has anyone else done this?

I think that Dr. Alvarez uses Covidian staples - Has anyone already inquired about staples with Dr. Garcia or Aceves?

I'm not sure if Dr Alvarez or Dr. Aceves offer the single incision.

 

Anyway...sound off on your favorite Doctor! (as long as its one of the 3 above)[/quote']

 

I am going this Thursday to Dr. Garcia, he uses 32

I just posted my entire experience with Dr. Aceves. He and the MBC team were wonderful.

I am in the same dilemma as you. I am between Garcia and Aceves since they seem to have most experience in revision surgery. I will have to save a little longer if I go with Aceves and I am ready to get this done! But I also want to make sure I make the right decision on what dr I choose.

I used alvarez I am so new to be objective I will tell you they picked up on one of my medical issues I've been dealing with for 12 years and were able to tell me why need less to say I am greatful. I can't say I enjoyed my surgery because I was so ready to come home and it was rough but I did feel the experience was decent and they were responsive to any need I had

Those Dr's are my top 3 as well! :) I'm leaning towards Dr. Garcia because of the single incision.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
