  1. Ok, a week and a half since surgery with Dr Lopez, about to try to some pureed foods..25lbs down since pre op diet. 13 lbs lost since we got home last sunday night.
  2. In PV, Marie Loiza. She is Dr Lopez's patient coordinator
  3. My wife and I second and third it. Very impressed. I think their patient coordinator could use some help driving people around, but other than that, all good. My wife has lost a total of 14 lbs since the start of the pre op diet and post surgery, and I have lost 24, and that includes the 12 lbs lost since the surgery a week ago. Hoping that I can start eating more soon, as it gets alittle frustraiting at times.
  4. Had my surgery sept 19. doing fine, having oatmeal, protein drinks, soup, etc. Lots of water. some indegestion, but that is normal after all of this. Not eating very much, and not feeling that hungry
  5. Since pre op, down 18lbs in three weeks
  6. yes so far so good..looking forward to getting home tomorrow. Very frustraiting being in PV and not being able to truly enjoy it. Such a beautiful area and nice people.
  7. Woke up today. Feeling a lot less bloated. Not as sore. Able to take alittle more in today
  8. Yes, wifi. Kinda slow, but it does work. I dont have an ipad so I couldnt tell you on that, but google translate does work. Hand motions work good too. Its a private hospital, very nice.
  9. We were in the hospital 2 nights. Very nice. Brush up on your spanish though. Nurses speak very little english. Im doing well, just some bloating from the surgery, and soreness. Havent been able to drink more than a few sips of Gatorade at a time without feeling full. I guess that is a good thing. We are staying two nights at the hotel, then flying back Sunday.
  10. Back at hotel. Overall a great experience. Dr and his team awesome. Wish I spoke better spanish. PV is beautiful. Hospital is brand new. Staying at a gorgeous Marriott resort over looking the ocean. Only negative was American Airlines F ing up our schedule by cancelling both our departing and arriving flights. I am doing ok, just sore.

  14. All went well. Had some pain and gas pain last night but feeling much better today
