Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any complications with Dr Garcia doing the sleeve? I get my sleeved done with him April 15, I am starting to get little nervous and and scared but excited at the same time.I just hope everything goes good and I don't have no major complications like some of the stories I have read on here.

I did read somewhere that he hasn't had any leaks if that helps any. I am using him too and I have total confidence that he is a very good surgeon! My surgery is scheduled for May 7, but considering switching to May 6, so I can have it the same day I fly in as well.

Search Dr Garcia and you will find plenty to calm your nerves. As with most of the MX docs.. You can find many recommendations just by searching in the search bar on the forum. Good luck!

I just emailed Dr. Garcia, Dr. Luna and Alma and it was a clot and heart issue but the whole family was sleeved by Garcia...This was an isolated incident!!! I worry about these things but they assured me that was the only one. still confident in my decision!

So, with a clot you just can't help it? If you get one in the wrong place you're just screwed or what? :/ I'm scared about this

Maybe or maybe not?!?! It seems to me although I AM NOT a doctor, some ppl just don't know if they are "blood clot" prone... Especially if you have never had any other surgeries/complications!! This particular person had ailments that contributed to her death.. If I had ailments I would NOT get this surgery period,in MX or The States.

Remember Amy is doing fine now..so I wouldn't say "screwed" altogether....

      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.
