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.

@ 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

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

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?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
