Now that Dr. Garcia himself is looking into it I hope we can let this go.

I also hope, regardless of the outcome and regardless which version is true, that Blindsided speak with a counselor to help her cope with what has obviously been an overwhelmingly emotional experience.

The law of defamation protects a person's reputation and good name against communications that are false and derogatory. Defamation consists of two torts: libel and slander. Libel consists of any defamation that can be seen' date=' most typically in writing. Slander consists of an oral defamatory communications. The elements of libel and slander are nearly identical to one another.

Specific requirements that a plaintiff must prove in order to recover in a defamation action differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Under the Restatement (Second) of Torts, which is drafted by the American Law Institute and has been influential among state courts, a plaintiff must prove four elements.

First, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant made a false and defamatory statement concerning the plaintiff.

Second, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant made an unprivileged publication to a third party.

Third, the plaintiff must prove that the publisher acted at least negligently in publishing the communication.

Fourth, in some cases, the plaintiff must prove special damages.

With this being said BS has placed herself and others in a very difficult spot. SHE (either willingly or thru coercion) has OPENLY stated that SHE lied. Basically admitting libel!! If in fact what she said was 100% truth, the way that she went about expressing the truth makes her actions questionable, especially when she turned around and recanted her story. People have taken what she has said and made the assumptions that the man could be capable of "rape and molestation of a pt while under anesthesia."

If indeed he is guilty of sleeping with patients, in the United States he may be deemed guilty of moral turpitude; however, if what the OP has accused him of is untrue, in the United States he would be entitled to punitive damages (which wouldn't be difficult to recover since she's admitted she "lied".

Oh my, the drama never ends here. I suggest that you all let sleeping dogs lie and "back away from the fire".

Truth or untruth, in the end we ALL must answer to a higher power who is ALL knowing. So if it seems as though he's "getting away" with things, he won't be. And if the OP is indeed "lying" then SHE will have to be held accountable on THAT day.[/quote']

This is the way I was looking at it. From a legal point of view. And the possible business loss from these allegations. If I ever get tired of trying to lose my last 5lbs to get the ball rolling for surgery here in the states I wouldn't hesitate in considering Dr. Garcia. I've dealt with all kind of men and know how to handle them.

Notice the lack of men commenting on this story. While many women are drawn to drama (Even Me) most men stay clear.

And let me say that Dr Garcia and his team are great at performing weight loss surgeries. when we choose a surgeon for such an invasive procedure, what's important is his surgical competency. I would recommend him without hesitation. If you choose to use him you will be in good hands.

I wanted to update...

Dr. Garcia has finished his investigation of these issues and is no longer using "dr" Luna.

I might add I admire Dr. Garcia in his professionalism and putting the patients first.

That is disgusting. A man's life is ruined because someone didnt know the meaning of a one night stand. I understand it was unprofessional of him but I guarentee it if they were still "together" there wouldn't be an issue. Or if she knew someone who she just met overseas doesn't want a relationship.

I will say one more thing here.. Calling out someone who you "think" it is, is wrong. And for everyone that wants to attack the op?

You are not helping Dr. Garcia in the least bit..

He did what he FELT was right.

And does not need needless attacks against the "perceived" person who this happened to.

      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.
