What is the pricing for Dr. Garcia? Also what are the airports people are using besides San Diego?

The cheapest airline tickets I found was through United Airlines. Just go to every airline website and enter the dates in and they will quote you a price. :)

Kayak.com is great about pricing the major airlines. Southwest and frontier do not come up in their searches so you have to do them separately.

Dr. Garcia is $4700 and is all inclusive of 3 total nights at the marriott and two nights in the hospital..all things are covered except for air fare...they do charge this price for all BMIs up to 50 and then do a step increase after that for up to and over 70bmi. Airfare to San Diego depends on when you buy...i bought with in a month or so of the surgery and during the summer monthes, so was higher, about $400...on expedia.com....that is the airport everyone uses though...I'm actually here right now waiting for my procedure to begin! :) Good luck~

I bought thru Southwest.com and only paid $98 each way flying from Salt Lake City to San Diego. I'm pretty sure there isn't any other airport they use, because your driver will pick you up and drive you across the border. Completely safe!!

I head they have better rates if you book on Tuesdays, don't know if that's true but worth a look! Do you need a passport for Mexico or is the birth certificate & valid ID still work!?

Update....Southwest is in fact cheaper on Tuesdays. I looked into booking airfare last Thursday because I need my itinerary for surgery date confirmation & looked from Sacramento to San Diego & it was $165 one way & decided to wait to check today & tada it's only $98 each way, would think since its only an hour and half flight it would be cheaper!

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
