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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
