Made up my mind to get the sleeve. Very excited. I am self-pay and can only afford Mexico. Was thinking about Dr.Lopez. The price was good. Anyone go to him? Any hidden

Costs? How many days in hospital? Amount of time from when you turn in paper work to when you have surgery? Thanks for help. Ready to get this done

I went with dr Elias Ortiz he was trained by dr lopez everything went perfect! No hidden cost I paid my $4500 (I think the prices went up recently) and that was it of course if you want to tip your driver that's up to you. Jenese the coordinator took care of everything for me down to my Aflac paperwork if you want you can look up my old post I have my step by step of how everything went, or you can just ask me any question ill be happy to answer any question

I am going to Dr. Lopez June 17, same day surgery. $4650, plus $500 to remove gall bladder. Apparently the gall bladder can go bad after this surgery. So I decided to do it with my sleeve to avoid potentially being cut open again when I get home... I am very happy with my choice in doctor:)

I went to Dr Quinones and it was $4500 with no extra fees. I got in when it was $4000 thankfully. I was treated very nicely,a nd he and the hospital were great!!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
