I am going to PV for surgery NOvember 16th. I had started the process here in BC but in September when the forums were stating the Provincial government had implimented cutbacks I decided to research alternatives. I have read only wonderful words of Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna. I am confident with my choice of Doctors. :) 24 days to go!

That's great, Patti. Where are you from? I have a friend in Tij right now.... She says Dr.Lopez is great and everything is very professional and clean. Good luck!

I'm in the northern interior, originally from your area. Are you feeling positive about this?

You'll have to let us know what your impression/experience like regarding quality of care. I'm also booked for Spring Break, 3/11/13.

I am booked with him for November 19. The decision was easy when it's all been positive about him. In still a little nervous but ready for the next step in my life. And since we will be in Tijuana for thanksgiving we celebrated yesterday so I could have the fried turkey once more lol about to start my pre op diet so nothing will stop me from moving forward. My husband is going along with me and I think he is more nervous than I am.

Best of luck. What are your preop diet guidelines? May I ask if you are high BMI? I am. 57 BMI, which is my main reason for using Dr. Lopez.

I am having surgery with him next Saturday. My friend just had surgery with him yesterday and she liked him and everything went really well

Best of luck and hooray for your friend. I hope you'll share your experience with those of us that are waiting excitedly/anxiously.

No I don't have a high BMI. I will definitely post my experience because I know how scary it is not knowing. I am still nervous myself even with my friend there. Best of luck!

Of course I expect mine to be a little different since I am not her lol. And I will share my experience as well. I do plan on documenting my journey so I can look back and see just how far I have come.

And about pre op I forgot to include they e-mailed me a packet that's pretty basic but it's done in steps so I think it will be fairly easy to stick with for the short amount of time I need to. I start on November 1 with 2 Protein Shakes (at least 15 grams of Protein per serving) 1 for Breakfast and 1 for lunch and a salad with no or low fat dressing (in extremely small amount) with a protein on the salad. I can have another Protein Shake in the evening if needed. Then 3 days before surgery I start taking a laxative and will start a clear liquid only diet. And that's it. Go for surgery and follow the post op part of the diet.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
