Anyone had this doctor? Scheduled for the 27th.... I was told that Lopez is great. A little nervous, more and more each day , but looking forward to losing this weight! Thank you in advance. !

Congratulations on scheduling your surgery! I haven't scheduled mine yet, I'm still researching surgeons and trying to convince everyone that going to Mexico is a good idea! I haven't read to much on Dr. Lopez yet. I will check him out for sure though!

Thank you! I did a lot of research..... And, there is a $4500 summer special!!!! When I found that out, I felt like it was a sign for me to go ahead , and do it! Since having my 2 year old, I never do anything for myself. I use to be in great shape. But, the pregnancy , and a desk job for two years before that, took a hard toll on me. I can't wait to feel good about myself again! Let me know if you want more info... I'll give you my patient coordinator's email. I LOVE her, and trust her. She has been through a procedure in TJ, which helped me to feel at ease. I've been reading so much information , as well as reading many , many, many forums. I'm not telling my friends or family. I know they would flip out, about the procedure,and because it's in Mexico.... And, because I have a lower BMI than most who get the procedure, I know I'd hear a lot of criticism from friends and family. Getting nervous, but looking forward to feeling pretty, attractive again...

Where are you from? And are you nervous about going alone?

Oregon.... No, not as nervous about going alone, as I am about leaving my child with my Hubby while I'm gone... I've never been away from my baby. : ( Going to try not to cry when I go. Trying to focus on me being healthier and happier after I've lost the weight. I'll be a better Mommy, more willing to go outside and play ,etc.... I feel very good about the procedure.

Check out " A Lighter Me". One big thing that I like about them is that the procedure is at actual hospital. They weren't pushy with me, trying to get me to commit. They were patient with all my tons of questions, and I could tell they cared. Was nice talking to people who have been there , and who have had procedure themselves.

I am 22 days post op today. I was sleeved by Dr. Garcia and I went through A Lighter Me. I think Dr. Lopez and Dr. Garcia may be like partners. I think Dr. Garcia trained under Dr. Lopez. I remember seeing Dr. Lopez in the hallway. I had a very good experience at the Mi hospital. The care was phenomenal. If I needed anything, they were very attentive. One you are discharged MAKE SURE the patient coordinators, Melly or Rosie are contacting you every few hours and checking on you since you will be alone. I am assuming you will stay at the Marriott and you will love it. The broth is to die for (if u could die for broth, lol). Walk walk walk. I went down by the pool and walked a lot.

If you have any questions or concerns before, during or after surgery just ask away. Private message me if you want....I would love to be able to help. I just cannot emphasize enough though that you make sure you are being checked on. I had a companion, so I felt like I was checked on adequately. You will be fine and do great. Take an iPad laptop or something with wifi because they have wifi at the hospital and I communicated a lot by email. Check into international calling with your mobile carrier.

God Bless and Good Luck!

You will be so happy with your decision.
