You'll be in good hands. He's great at what he does and the whole team seems to have things down to a science.

I have chosen him for my band to sleeve revision. After MONTHS of research, I couldn't be more confident in my decision!! You're likely looking at a surgery date before mine (May 11th) but we can definitely check in with each other and compare our experiences! :)

Dr Garcia just did my sleeve on Thursday. I can't say enough good about him and his team. He truly cares about the outcome of his patients health. You should go to his Face Book page, his dedication just jumps out at you.

You should read as much as you can find here about him (there is a lot!). One thing you should be updated on is that he is also using florence Oasis Hospital as an option as well as Mi Doctor.

Once you get in touch with the coordinators (Ready4AChange) they will send you all the information you will need about pre-op diet, etc.

I am three days out of surgery and I feel great! So glad I did this!

Dr Garcia did my surgery on Friday at the Oasis Hospital. Everyone was so nice; the docs speak very good English. Dr. Garcia came into my room with an iPad and drew little colored pictures of the surgery, showing the external incisions and drain placement.

Two of the physicians have had bariatric surgery themselves and gave some firsthand advice on post op care and diet.

I had zero nausea...but two of the ladies had a rough time with nausea. I'm up and about now at the Marriott trying to sip sip sip Water.

I can 100% recommend Dr Garcia and his team. I would send any of my family members there.

*raises nauseous hand* I was one of those ladies that had nausea real bad the first 24 hrs, everyone was great. They communicate a lot prior to surgery and after. Dr. Garcia has the best smile it puts you at ease right away. You can't go wrong with this team.

      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.
