for Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza

★★★★★ 5/5

10 months ago I took one of the most important decisions in my life: gastric sleeve surgery. It was not an easy option as many people may think, it was a well analyzed decision, after trying many treatments with dietitians, bariatric doctors, and natural pills and more … I always got short time results, never a final solution to my obesity.

So after analyzing the surgical options, fulfill the medical analysis requested and realize that I am a candidate for gastric sleeve, thanks to the explanations given by Dr. Manuel García and relying on his ability as an excellent surgeon, in July I went under the gastric sleeve procedure.

10 months after surgery and I have lost 38 kilos, I am in good health and especially good on my self-esteem. My life has changed a lot, I am no longer being called as the mother of my sister as I didn´t lost only Kilos, but regained youth.”

Thanks Dr. Manuel Garcia

I want to share this experience that has changed my life more than I could have ever imagined. I once thought about surgery as an option because after several attempts to reduce my weight with different methods the results I always got were not very good enough, but never went further on this matter because of the fear to th procedure.

However when I started experience serious health problems, specifically high blood pressure associated with major health risks because of my overweight is when I began to think of what could happen if a heart attack ocurred to me and when I weighted pros and cons is when I decided to ask for a professional advice.

Thats the way I met Dr. Manuel Garcia who cleared all my doubts and gave me the confidence I needed to go through a Gastric Sleeve Surgery.

Today I can say the procedure it is worth it, I am grateful to God for this opportunity.

I am another person, physically and emotionally

for Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza

★★★★★ 5/5

My name is Carmen I have 40 years, three children, I decided to go through a gastric sleeve procedure because I was desperate as for many years I have been struggling with overweight, I have tried a lot of different diets and even took pills that made me feel sick, many times I lost some weight but the results never lasted as in a short period of time I was recovering the weight lost so I decided to look for a permanent solution, and I began my research about the different obesity surgeries, and this lead me to Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza, who has been an angel for me and since the first appointment gave me the confidence I needed as he solved all my doubts and recommended the gastric sleeve procedure. I completed all the preoperative tests required and thanks God all my results were fine so Dr. Garcia approved me as a candidate for the surgery. The recovery process was very fast and I felt good, pretty soon I started to lose weight.

It has been 4 months since the surgery and I have lost 26 kilos and I have dropped from a size 13-15 to 04-06 I feel incredible, and I have got a lot more confidence on my self, my life had a change of 180 degrees and there is a lot more to come.

Thanks to my family for all the support and to God above all for the opportunity of this change and because along the way I found Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza who completely changed my life, he is an excellent surgeon and a very sensible person who has been very focused on my recovery process and always clearing any doubts.

Two months ago I decided to go under a gastric sleeve procedure, today I see wonderful results that could never be achieved without the surgery. My life changed 180 degrees, I am now a much more energetic person, I am very happy, my self-esteem increased, my attitude is different and people get to notice all these changes…

In addition to all the above described, the best thing that could happen to me was that due to a gynecological problem, it was very difficult for me to get pregnant, now with my weight loss, I miraculously managed to get pregnant . My gynecologist explained to me that the weight loss helped tremendously.

I love my new life, and all that is about to come, to two months after surgery I have lost 18kg (almost 40 pounds) and I dropped 4 sizes … I am very grateful to Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza for all his help, patience, care and friendship.

Losing weight has never been so easy, until I had to take one of the hardest decisions in my life has changed me completely.

Now everything is easier, if I sleep break, if I do not get tired doing sport as easily as before.
Thanks to the gastric sleeve surgery performed by Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza and his team.”

Thank you Dr. Manuel.
