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.

Hi, I had my gastric sleeve with him 3 months ago, and all i can say its that HE IS THE BEST DOCTOR, and the team he has its wonderful, you should do an appointment and verify what im saying.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
