I would like to know what happened to the thread that was started yesterday about this dr conducting himself in a very unprofessional manner?

The thread was removed right when I was in the middle of page 3.... anything else a gal should know? A friend sent me the link this morning, but I guess I was just too late to read the whole thing!

I believe so. In the sense that when I left the thread there was nothing but honest information and a warming about a real situation with a person taking advantage of his position.

Is this against forum rules????

Exactly.. How can one condone such behavior. This forum is here to support the wls patients, but apparently more for the drs. Sad

That's why I was so confused.... Nothing I saw seemed to break any of the forum rules, but I didn't get through all the posts so I couldn't be sure. For whatever it's worth, I had no problems with Dr. Luna while I was there for surgery, but that doesn't at all mean that someone else couldn't have experienced issues.

I have a few friends who are having surgery with Dr. Garcia in the next few weeks and I guess I just hope this gets figured out before they go down there.... I would hate for them to have to worry about any drama or scandal, on top of the general worries that most of us experienced before and directly after surgery... you know?

I have had another girl pm me saying that he was "creepy" telling her she was beautiful and several other things. She can say it here if she likes but I think the moral here is to know if he says these things let him know right away it is unwanted..

I was wondering when it would get shut down. Idk the rules on this forum specifically, but most boards I'm on have rules against allegations and legal advice, which that thread was definitely teetering on.

Just my assumption.

I'm sure he's capable and has a charming personality, it seems a lot of people liked him very much. It's just that a line was definitely crossed with several girls.. It does not mean that he has crossed it with everyone though..

:(

He did the same to me, but it could also have to do with more the cultural differences too. I didn't feel that he was saying it in a "creepy" kind of way though.. He told me I was beautiful, had beautiful eyes & would look even more amazing once the weight came off. There was another female doctor in the room too though, but I forgot her name. I think it may be that he just says these things to help with the patient's self confidence & to get them excited about losing the weight. I could see though how someone may mistake this for him hitting on them or something, but Idk, I just dont think he means any harm by it.

Most forums don't allow spinoff threads of closed topics either. Maybe we'll get lucky here though?

      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.
