I have just returned to the hotel after two nights at Mi Doctor. Dr. Lopez performed my surgery and the entire staff at Mi Doctor is pleasant, helpful and willing to answer any questions.

When I first awoke from surgery, I wasn't prepared for the way I felt. I won't lie, it was painful. But, they do give you meds as soon as you ask for them, so no worries.

Good luck!

Kristen, what exactly was hurting? Your belly? Or pain from the gas?

Are you staying at the Marriott? I may have just seen you in the restaurant...

Kristen, are you at the Marriott? Are you from Nola? My brother in law said he spoke to a couple yesterday and the husband had on an LSU shirt. Just wondering if that was you?

Good luck! Experience was ok. I had researched it as much as my sis did so i did not know what to expect. Dr. Lopez was supposed to our surgery, however, we both feel like his associate, Dr. Ortiz did it. Our names on the board in the hall said dr. Ortiz, and he did all the follow ups. Dr. Lopez only came in right before surgery and introduced himself. She and I both had a hiatal hernia, so, that had a little added discomfort. I had very bad nausea but she didn't! She did wonderful! I kept asking for something for it and they kept giving me something for acid??? Language barrier??? But I am home, doing well, and so far, no regrets!

Again, good luck.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
