who all had Dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico , and are you happy with your results please post good or bad.

 

I had him 3 weeks ago but I am still hungry all the time

 

how have you done otherwise?

are you feeling better? Tired? Losing weight?

Do you think it is "head hunger"?

I also was sleeved 7 days ago with Dr. Garcia and I'm having a rough time fighting head hunger!! I had the best experience ever with his team, and I'm extremely happy I went with them, but like I said, head hunger is rough. I know I'm not physically hungry, in fact I never feel hungry, but I know when my stomach grumbles that I need to consume something. Head hunger is a killer!! It's hard for me to fix meals for my girls and husband and not want to pick at everything but it's all part of the process. I have been finding new hobbies to keep my mind from constantly thinking about food.< /p>

I was sleeved April 23rd with Dr. Garcia as well and I am not hungry at all, I do have cravings and can't wait to eat real food but that's about it. It is all in my head. I am very happy with my results so far I have lost 19lbs in about 10 days and yesterday for the first time I tried fat free refried Beans and felt full after only 4 teaspoons. Also, I have been drinking the Syntrax Nectar chocolate truffle Protein Shake, it is DELICIOUS and it keeps me full for like 3 hours

Have you talked with Dr. Garcia about this? Do you feel any restriction at all?

Reflux mimics hunger, once I went on meds, I'm never hungry!

I went to Dr Garcia on March 29 and still do not feel hunger. My stomach "turns" when its time to put something in there. Talk to Dr. Garcia, I am sure he would be ready to offer suggestions. Good luck to ya

I was sleeved by Dr. Garcia on 4/22. Never really hungry, but I definitely get cravings when I see or smell something yummy. I loved him to pieces and am grateful for the experience I had in TJ.

      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. 🤞
