Finally decided on Dr. Garcia at Florence hospital



Recommended Posts

I finally decided on Dr. Garcia at Florence Hospital. I've debated for months between him and Dr. Aceves but I need the extra money towards bills etc. so I am going with Garcia.

I am going on the 10th by myself and I'm hoping to find some people on here going at the same time.

As an extremely happy and satisfied patient, I will sing the praises of Dr Garcia and the entire team forever. They are caring, loving and always on top of any questions. I have voluntarily decided to take a leave of absence from my job (I have an extremely demanding job) for 2-4 months and Dr Garcia, Ana, Irene and Alma have all jumped into to provide an official letter to facilitate the process. You have NO idea how helpful this is for my primary doctor and I as we fight Aetna for my short term pay

Do not be scared and if you have any questions ask those of us who had our surgeries with him. You will not be disappointed. I only wish I had done this surgery last year instead of waiting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
