I honestly believe you'll have a wonderful experience with Dr. Garcia and the rest of the team!

I was sleeved in North Carolina about two and a half months ago and my friend who saw the already dramatic changes to my quality of life decided to have the surgery as well and chose Dr. Garcia. She had the surgery on Wednesday and I came with her as her companion!

The difference between the two experiences is astounding. While I felt cared for with my own surgery it is NOTHING like the level of care she's getting! Everyone we've met seems honestly invested in the patient doing well (including the older woman that delivered the Water and chided my friend to be sure to drink it all). The hospital is older but crazy clean and comfy.

Basically in my personal opinion had I known how good an experience going to Mexico for the surgery would have been I wouldn't have had mine in the US even if I did have insurance! You'll have a wonderful experience with Dr. Garcia and team. :)

Yesterday I confirmed with Dr. Garcia for August 27. Reading reports of his good work makes me feel much more secure. Hope all goes well for you, I'll be watching for your story!

He works out of Mi Doctor and florence Oasis. At first they had me at Mi Doctor but I read so many wonderful things about Florence like the great equipment, larger hospital, more English speaking nurses and nicer rooms etc. so I switched.

At first I was also scheduled for Mi Doctor but then eventually changed it to florence. And I also asked Alma and she said suggested Florence for me and said that I would be happy there.

      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.
