My Husband and I are planning to have surgery in Feb 2013. We wanted to go to Dr. Preze in Cancun but because of our BMI Dr. Lopez is the better surgeon. I have been very impressed so far with the communication with his office, but i was wondering if anyone else had surgery by him?

I had my surgery in Puerto Vallarta by Dr. Lopez on September 21.

I'm having surgery in February with Dr. Lopez in Tijuana as well! Can't wait!!! =)

Does one specialize in higher/lower bmi's?

That is what I was told by a lighterme. Dr. Lopez does the higher BMI 50+ Dr Perez does not

Ah. Thanks for the response. I've read nothing but good things about him from others on these boards. You will be in great hands.

Had surgery August 9th with Lopez. I am his biggest fan

I had surgery with Dr Lopez on 9/27, in TJ. Great experience and would do it again! I haven't posted my 'story' yet, but I will in the next week or so. My sister went with me and she will be returning in November to get a sleeve with Dr. Lopez.

thanks for the reply! I am a ball of emotions! I am excited most of all but i am also scared. Scared of the pain after the surgery (after reading some peoples issues after the surgery) scared that I will morn the loss of eating. I live in New Orleans we have really good food! But I know I have have to do this I am ready to do it. I have to become healthly! I am only 33 years old and my 65 year old assistant has more energy than me and less pains! I am ready to make the change because I know I HAVE to change I just dont LIKE change!

I'm booked with Dr. Lopez on Jan. 91/ 13. I've heard very good things about him, and if I didn't have work obligations, I'd be on my way now. A 6 year wait list in BC Canada
