Dr Garcia and his staff are nothing but wonderful and professional. All of my questions were answered in a timely fashion. I later found out that my insurance would pay for my surgery because of other health issues even though I wasn't at a higher level of the BMI requirements.
Dr. Garcia is truly the best. He takes his time and explains everything before the surgery. He gives you that comforting feeling that everything will be ok. I was extremely happy that all labs and test were done to ensure no surprises and the best recovery, i could not believe how thorough he was with everything. Even after the surgery when i had concerns about some pain he made time to see me before i left DR. and explained why i was feeling this pain and calm my fears. My surgery was successful and my recovery is going great. Thank you Dr. Garcia and his team.
Dr GARCÍA makes me the gastric balloon procedure, he is excellent, very careful with his patients . Doing things right. And his team they all are great!!!!???? I recommend this team and their leader Dr Pablo García for weight loss treatments. The treatment, the price, the service, the caring, is a combination of all good things.
Yo vengo de una Manga Gastrica, la verdad es que el doctor es excelente, tanto en lo profesional como en lo personal, aparte está rodeado del mejor equipo, la verdad es que no me arrepiento de mi decisión y lo mejor de todo es la dedicación que el toma con cada uno de sus paciente, si tuviera la oportunidad de repetir la experiencia lo hiciera
Muy agradecida, gracias al doctor pablo y su excelente equipo que estan para guiarte en todo el proceso antes, durante y despues del procedimiento. Excelentes atenciones, el mejor de todos para cambiar tu estilo de vida. Gracias doctor
Excelente, el proceso pre operatorio me hizo sentir en buenas manos, segura y cuidada. Sureste y después ha sido igual, me sentí acompañada por el doctor y quien podia recurrir a él en cualquier momento. Solo me pregunto porque no di el paso antes. Eternamente agradecida.
El Dr. Garcia es un profesional de las mas preparandos que conozco, con una dedicacion total a su trabajo y por ender con sus pacientes, lo recomiendo 1000x1000. Si algun dia me vuelvo a operar lo haria con el sin mirar hacia atras.
My experience with Dr. Garcia was very satisfying. He guided me through the process up to the surgery, and the day of the surgery after weaking up I did not feel any pain. I kept asking my nurse did i get the surgery? I couldn’t believe how easy and smooth this process was. Dr. Garcia has angel hands and i am grateful that he was my doctor for my gastrobypass surgery. He is the best Bariatric surgon in Santo Domingo, thats for sure.
The ideal would be to stop smoking (regardless of the substance of choice) as it is associated with an awkward post-operative recovery. as you mentioned if this itself predisposes you to cravings, as your eating plan has changed drastically you should take that into account. any disruption in the plan established by your nutritionist could have consequences for your health. But if smoking is not out of your capacity, you should at least reduce to once a week or at least eliminate the habit for a year while you adapt to the new changes in your diet, adapt your body to physical activity such as going to gym, yoga or activities that help you create a healthy mind-body habit relationship.
If the previous intervention was done with a proper technique there is no reason why a sleeve would cause the tubal ligation to loosen. first of all the working area of both procedures is not the same since, for the tubal ligation you work in the pelvis, not in the abdominal region where your stomach is and where you intervene for the gastric sleeve. if you suspect that your tubal ligation was not performed properly and you suspect pregnancy, you should consult a gynecologist.
Everything will depend on the positioning of the laparoscopic entry ports, if there is the possibility of finding granulation tissue adhesions or scar tissue that can be eliminated by laparoscopy. Once these adhesions are released (if present), the sleeve can be performed without any problem. the important thing is that you discuss this with your bariatric surgeon to clarify doubts and questions before undergoing the surgical procedure.
to treat redundant skin after a major weight loss, i would recommend you to go to a reconstructive plastic surgeon. he will discuss with you the options available for your specific case. remembering that removing all the extra tissue in one procedure would not be the ideal, as it would be a major procedure and the risks and postoperative complications should be taken into account.
There is no contraindication to do both procedures in the same surgery. But it would be important that you talk to your gynecologist and express your desire to perform a gastric sleeve and consult about hysterectomy, since the amount of uterus removed will depend greatly on the amount of fibroids, their size and location, as this would lead to the decision to do them in separate surgical times. if you are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding or unusual pelvic pain resulting from these fibroids, your priority would be to talk to your gynecologist about surgery rather than your bariatric surgeon of choice.
