I have had lapband surgery in Tiajuana. The first surgery I considered to be successful although later my band slipped. This was done by Dr. Covalis Lopez. This is a different doctor than Dr. Martin Lopez.
There was virtually no follow-up from the first surgeon or his staff. There was also a lack of support from US doctors on the first surgery. Lapbands do have some maintenance.
The second time I went to Mexico, I took a friend. We went to Hospital Jersalem. What a dive. The location sucks and the pictures are misleading to where you will be. Excuse my phrase ghetto... my husband is black. This location had 2 strong armed robberies with in 50 and 500 feet of the front door while I was present. the septic system also had issues. We were routed ther my Medical Tourism. I will NEVER trust Medical Tourism with my safety or those I travel with. Again there was a lack of follow-up.
The third visit was with Dr. Martin Lopez and Dr. Jorge Serrano Anaya. My surgery was for a revisio of my slipped band to a plication. I was in an emergency situation. They kept close contact for thirty days prior to my surgery and continue to do so every week.
I also took a family member and a friend of mine with me. We all had plications surgery. The facilities were clean and the doctors are very knowledgeable and supportive. There will be a time where you plateau and need will need guidance. I personally feel that you will get the kind of services in a facility that will meet your expectations. If I can be of any assistance in answering your questions please let me know. There are some real pits to the way some of the facilities try to lure you in.

Incase I wasn't clear, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Martin Lopez and Baja Med. They were everything they promised to be and more.

I had placation with Dr.Martin Lopez of Baja Med in July.

I can't say enough great things about the service I recieved. You don't get the one on one attention from doctors in Canada.

Dr. Lopez was amazing! The entire staff at Baja Med went above and beyond to make sure I recieved the best care. Dr. Lopez is a very kind, conciderate and attentive surgon.

There was a night, three days post surgery I was feeling very ill. A driver picked me up and took me to Baja Med. Dr.Lopez left an event at 11:00pm to meet me there and make sure I was ok.

I have never had that kind of service in the medical field.

I went down with a girlfriend and we both had the procedure. I would do it again in a heart beat! I won't lie the first few days were very hard but worth every second of suffering. I am almost 6 weeks post op, am feeling fantastic and have already lost 38lbs!

I am willing to answer any questions you may have...

I hope you chose to have your surgery with Baja Med.
It is a decision you will never regret.

When I first tried to get authorization from my insurance company back in November 2013 for surgery, I was at 35. And the surgeon I was going with told me to make sure I did not lose anymore weight. So I ended up gaining weight just to make sure I did not get denied but got denied anyway.
I am tall and wear my weight well (if there is such a thing) and I also had a Tummy Tuck from years ago so my stomach is still flat.So of course some people frown upon wls as an option for me. But what people have to realize is that they do not know ones story and journey in life when it comes to obesity and weight management and dieting,etc. Yo-yo dieting is a contributing factor to enlarged organs. My sister died in 2008 of obesity and an enlarged heart.She was 28.
Judge lest not ye be judged people!!

For what its worth. Last year my bmi was 3o. I weighed170. Mind u ive been obese always...205 at age 21. Ik 5 ft 4. But menapause has reactivated my weight gain with a vengeance..yep im on thyroid meds...so i go a year ago and talk to a Doc hear in Va who says why to thin,,,,great. Could go to mexico. But just not for me...so here i am a yera later now 185 still being told u r too thin to qualify. So 12,000 later and a trip to NC and Im sleeved..for me it was the only option.,! At worst Ill stop gaining at best ill get healthy under 150 Keep tuned in

I'm 5 weeks out and have three boys ages 11, 6, and 1. It has been challenging for me and I'm exhausted! I work and am in the last 3 months of school! Crazy life. Hopefully we can motivate each other!

My surgery is on March 10th and it coming up quick. But also way to slow. Looking for some other mama's that are busy as heck that are gonna do this thing and work our butts off.

I was 17 when I had it and it was the best thing I ever did and you should tell her in my opinion and encourage your daughter with the process should she choose to get the procedure.

Hey! is anyone still here?
I'm getting my surgery tomorrow and I'm 15

August sleevers, there are ONLY TWO main things you need to take to the hospital with you...... Your cell phone......AND some CHAPSTICK!!!!! Omg!!! And you will reach for the Chapstick before you reach for your phone!!! My aunt had to bring me some, It felt like HEAVEN gliding across my lips.... Just a lil FYI

Hi, my surgery is on January 16. Im scared too. Its especially hard because everyone has an opinion. My family is also scared and hearing there fears doesnt make it easier. But i do understand they just love me. Just the way I am. What they arent thinking of now is that just the way I am is not healthy. So scared or not I have made peace with it. I know its the right thing and I have to leave it in gods hands. I hope you find that peace for yourself. Good luck and god bless whatever you decide

How do you upload your photo on here?

My husband and I are having our surgeries on January 2! I can't wait!!

After almost a long hard year of trying to lose weight on my own again I decided to have the sleeve. I was able to lose 43 lbs however gained back 10. Its been a 12 year up and down weight journey that is taking a toll on my body. I did all my pre open tests last year everything is good to go just need psych eval and thats it I will be sleeved hopefully by my 41st bday which is Jan 31. That will be my gift to myself.
