My intent is the be sleeved by Dr Lopez in March, as long as the funds are available (it's been a Murphy's Law kinda year). I would love to hear people who've used Dr. Lopez offer their thoughts and experiences on him. And how you're doing now, postop. Thank you in advance.

I'm with Amanda! Surgery is scheduled for March, but I'm having serious anxiety over it... Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

I'm headed there for surgery with Dr. Lopez on December 12th. I will keep you two updated

Hooray! I'm glad your surgery went well. You used ALM? Did they treat you well?

I am schedule jan 7 with lopez kinda second guessing cant find a lot on him,

Yes I went through ALM with Dr. Lopez and couldn't be happier! Dr. Lopez is a very kind and caring doctor and his associates are as well. I am an R.N and felt that I received top-notch care at all times. My sister n law is in the process of booking with them. : )

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on him. I'm excited and scared to death. Simultaneously. How long ago were you there? Have you had a lot of success postop?

To me that is both good and a lil scary. Good b/c negative experiences tend to stand out like a sore thumb but scary b/c it can feel limiting when you're researching...

My first night was at the marriott and then two nights at the new hospital and then again at the marriott for two more nights. It was beautiful to wake up with flower petals all over the balcony! I am doing well, just eating popsicles cause i am so thirsty, but just not hungry for anything. Oh and im down 18lbs! : )

Does Dr. Lopez use a catheter?

Amanda Rae

Nope! : )
