We (my sister and I) have decided to go with Dr. Lopez. Please share the good, the bad, the interesting, the helpful... pretty much everything about your experiences with him as a surgeon and A Lighter Me. Please private message if you are more comfortable with that. I am so grateful for everyone's contributions and insights here! <3

Im going to Mexico in March

I had surgery with dr lopez on jan 10th. But it was actually Dr. Ortiz that came to talk to me before surgery and did all the checking on me after. It was also Dr. Ortiz that took out my drain at the hotel, day before we left. The only time I saw Dr. lopez was a quick visit in the night to check my drain. But he didnt say a word? I had to ask if Dr. lopez was in the operating room. They say he was.

They are both fine doctors, and they both did the surgery. All went smoothly.

The first day or night of surgery is awfully painful, after that not to bad.

Your driver Abraham is great, he took us to revolution ave to buy from the locals and to the pharmacy for my retin a (dirt cheap there) also out to lunch (broth) he will take care of you.

Tijuana is filthy! But the hospital is clean, small but clean. And the Marriott is nice.

Bring gas strips, and tip your driver :-}

oh! And a couple girls had money stolen, so hide it good if you dont have mother there:-)

derrick34, that's exciting! Keep us posted.
