Lopez/Osuna?

Which docs have butchered?

Lol cute pic!

Fishy, I tried sending you a personal message. I don't believe it's going through... I was asking you if any surgeons in Mexico come to mind that were doing the hack jobs?

Alighterme added some more pics on their Facebook of the hospital and staff, etc. just for anyone that wants to check it out!

I don't know if this is true or not, but I've heard that the doctors have to pay to be in Newsweek. Most of the doctors that have been listed in Newsweek are the higher priced doctors. Maybe it's another way of advertising? I don't know... Just a thought.

March 10-15th for me! Dr. Lopez at MI hospital

I wouldn't want to lose it too fast because that contributes to lose skin. The slower the better for me!

95 pounds is awesome! Such an inspiration!! I am glad to hear that you felt safe during your trip. I've been kind of stressing myself out over the safety issue. Thanks for sharing!

Lol right! They all seem ridiculously good looking.

I've seen some pics of Eduardo! He's a cutie!

I kept hopping around from surgeon to surgeon, and I finally just had to narrow it down and pick one. If you have been on these forums for a little while you will notice certain doctors get popular for a while then it dies down, then another doctor will get popular for a while. When I was doing my research I had to exclude Aceves and Alavarez due to my finances. I just can't afford to go to them, even though I've heard wonderful things about them. I read a few negative things on Dr. Almanza at that time, and all that coordinator drama was going on with Dr. Kelly and that death or whatever so I kind of ruled them out for me. Not saying they aren't good surgeons, I'm just scared to death as it is and any time I hear something negative it just turns me away from the surgeon because I'm that terrified. So, that left Lopez and Osuna, Garcia, Dr. Ariel Ortiz, and Ponce. I tried contacting Trish, but never got a reply from her so I started researching other surgeons. I kept going back to Dr. Ortiz, but I didn't think I could come up with the funds for him either even though he is cheaper than Aceves and Alvarez, and he's in a center of excellence. He's done a few sleeves, but he was mainly the go to doc for the Lapband and now he's pushing plication. I absolutely don't want plication surgery, so I felt like I needed to go with a surgeon that was more experienced in sleeves. That narrowed it down to Lopez or Garcia. At the time I was researching the docs, a few people who went with Garcia complained about infections in the incisions but nothing too awful. I've mainly heard great things on him! I decided on Dr. Lopez/Osuna because I've never read one bad comment on him. Plus, there's 2 surgeons instead of one! His price is reasonable and he's done over 3,000 sleeves. I'm going through alighterme and scheduled for March 11th! I'm still terrified, but I'm ready to do this!

If you wanna go in March we could be buddies! Lol I have to go during spring break, I have one other buddy as well, but the more the merrier!

I've read a few comments that its like 3 years or something like that

Lol I don't know why it's doing this!!! How did you figure out a way?

M

Just think of all the money you will save in food over a year! I know I probably spend as much as what the surgery is going to cost eating out at restaurants and stuff associated with food.

My app was messing up lol are you gonna get to go in March now?

C

I looked at others around my same weight, and they don't look as fat as I do... Lol or as fat as I perceive myself to be... This has to be a conspiracy!!! Who is behind this website!!! Lol

I also considered Alvarez and Aceves, but there's no way I could come up with that amount of money unless I saved for years, and I'm ready for the surgery now. I've decided to go with Dr. Lopez who also works out of Mi hospital and he's in the 4,700 range.

I'm with Amanda! Surgery is scheduled for March, but I'm having serious anxiety over it... Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Can someone still get the surgery if they have a peptic ulcer? I may have one or it may just be really bad acid reflux I have not been tested for it

It's still hurting... It's been nonstop for several days now. I have a dr appointment Monday it won't go away!!! Lol the discomfort. I've taken Nexium and 600mg ibuprofen and still it hasn't let up. Does your hernia do this?

Oh thank goodness! I was about to say you poor thing, stranded on Thanksgiving! Lol
