Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza in Monterrey



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery with him before? I found him on the Bariatric Center of Excellence website, and he's one of 4 "surgeon of excellence" in Mexico. I was hoping to get some feedback.

Thanks!

Where does he do his Surgeries at? Altho it is best to find a Surgeon with The BARIATRIC CENTER OF EXCELLENCE, it doesn't always mean they are the best!! My hubby and I had the same surgeon, he did my RNY first and then tried to do a revision for my hubby which failed terribly. He ended up with abscesses and was sick for 9 months and 3 of them he doesn't remember. He was a great surgeon, but not so good with the follow-up. He kind of dropped my hubby in the middle of his illness and because I had problems with strictures he repeatedly referred to us both as "PROBLEM CHILDREN". If the Dr isn't doing the surgery at STARMED HOSPITAL in JUAREZ, Mexico he might be alright. Now the surgeon that did my hubby's Sleeve Surgery in JUAREZ MEXICO was an excellent surgeon. The Hospital NOT SO MUCH!!! They are nothing like the US hospitals. I wouldn't go thru BeLiteWeight either. The coordinator talked to us about other cases and couldn't keep things straight. Kind of scary. But now I will shut up because I don't know anything about your surgeon. i have heard that they do really great in Tijuana, MEXICO.

      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.
