I am going to Mexico(driving to San Diego) the 22nd of May....but my surgery date is May 23, 2013. Is there anyone else who is going to Mexico around that time??? My Dr. is, Dr. A. Lopez in Tijuana, Mexico...I will be at the MI Hospital???(I think that is the name) anyway, has anyone heard of this Dr.???????

Hi. I'm not going to Mexico but I am May 16! Band to sleeve revision.

Hi! I head to Mexico on May 20th! Still a bit up in the air about Dr's, but at the moment all signs are pointing at Dr. Perez in Cancun.

I fly into San Diego on the 22 of may and surgery on 23 of may. I also have Dr. A. Lopez

I'm getting sleeved in TJ by Dr. F. Garcia (Ready 4a Change) at Florence Oasis. Good luck to you!

@ Jokiedoe.....Hey I am sure you have done extensive research on Dr. Lopez, what all have you found out about him??? He seems to have a very positive reflection from what I have seen and heard

I fly into San Diego on the 22 of may and surgery on 23 of may. I also have Dr. A. Lopez

Are you going alone?

Are you going alone?

we have the same date

Wearmyheartonmysleeve, I have done a lot off looking at Dr. Lopez I am comfortable with his credentials. There are a lot of really good reviews, an he has a good % rating for no leaks. I have read a couple of not so good experiences the last week, my heart goes out to them, I hope each of them may have a speedy recovery and put it behind them and start their wonderful journey with a beautiful out come. But what I read in their posts was that the trouble was not with the Dr. It was more to do with scheduling an miss communications, both said the Dr. had done a good job. But the trouble was at the hospital and coordinators. I am sill confident in my choice in Dr. Lopez and Alighterme. I have not had any trouble with getting ahold of ALM and all an Q's answered in a timely manner, I hope that it does not change when payment is made in full. An as for Mexico, yes there are culture differences. But it is culture it has nothing to do with capabilities. I personally plan on taking some wound care stuff just in case it's needed. My husband will be going with me. Add yes my surgery in on 23 may 13 but we fly into San Diego around noon on the 22 may 13. Feel free to contact me any time at jokiedoe@yahoo.com

I have paid in full and I pray nothing changes with my coordinator. I am driving out from Oklahoma to San Diego and I should arrive sometime on the 22nd, you and your husband, are you two staying in a hotel the night before?? me and my girlfriend, were driving down together and I was looking into spending the night, somewhere close by the airport

Hi, I'm earlier than you - I'm on May 8th - but I'm going with ALM and Dr. Lopeq also.

What negative things have people read? Everyone keeps saying that but I've only seen one negative comment and it wasn't that bad to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
