My WLS journey with Alighterme/Dr.Lopez/Mexico the Real Deal



Recommended Posts

Even if someone IS paid to write about their experience, I don't see why it matters as long as the story they share is true. It could still help someone know what to expect from start to finish with a certain doc.

Different doctors from Mexico have different scripts, but basically, they're all the same. Butterflies and rainbows from start to finish!

That's pretty naive to group all posters as a dr affiliated script.

Not nice at all.

It matters here because its against forum rules

To advertise...

It's a wonderful thing that it's most MX surgeries are butterflies and rainbows.. Mine certainly was and I've said it many many times. Whether patients of US drs chose to journal theirs is a choice.. Or, is it because it's not all rainbows and butterflies? See, assuming doesnt get anyone anywhere. Sheesh..!!

Serendipity.. I totally agree!!! Its pretty bad that I can't post my true journey in Mexico without someone saying something bad about it. I posted this for no other reason than to be helpful. People who know me on here know this!!! Thank you for the people who are supportive.

It is terrible to group all together, but when there are lurkers here to advertise/promote - then ALL are suspect. That's just the way it is.

Well good morning VST! Another day another fight about Mexico...To the OP I'm sure you are real. And I'm glad you had a good experience.

Please try not to double post the same things in different forums here as it is annoying and against forum rules.

And you? Yeah you! You know who you are...whatcha doing? Didn't you have enough fighting the other day? Girl go get a cup of joe relax and have a good day :)

Quick crash course.

Try not to engage in conversations with people that behave with such bad manners. It only fuels the fire.

Try not to engage in my Mexico experience/surgeon/hospital is better than yours.

Try to offer support and encouragement to those who need/want it and ignore those who would try and bring you down with negativity.

I'm not accusing you of being dishonest or questioning your motives. I'm happy your experience was great. I'm happy you're sharing it so you can offer support to the pre-sleeved who are embarking on a Medical Tourism journey. It's overwhelming.

First off on the double posting.. I already stated it was an accident. My phone errorred out in the middle of posting and didn't realize it went through. I have been on this forum for less than 4 months and still trying to figure out navigating on here. My journey was great in Mexico like I stated in my post. Excuse me for trying to be helpful to others. I suppose if I wrote a horror story on here no one would be questioning how valid it was or not. It has become very apparent to me that you are not allowed to share your TRUE experience on here without being bashed. As stated before this is ridiculous!!! And if you are talking about me fighting on here the other day then so sorry you are sadly mistaken.

I wasn't speaking about you fighting....

But I might soon :) the girl that I was speaking to knows who she is :)

Sorry if the double post was a mistake.. But they were under two different forums... So one would assume they were more than phone error..

I'm glad you had a good experience in Mexico and you most definitely should share your experience! And anything else you want.

Oh and the horror stories that happen in Mexico?

Lord forbid some people have had a less than stellar experience in mexico. they get beat up on by people to the point the don't come back :(

Bad experiences happen everywhere!!

It's a reality.

If you wrote a horror story you would have been yelled at for maligning the character of someone's beloved surgeon. You will never make them all happy.

Just do what you're doing and remember once you engage a troll its hard to disengage them.

Resist taking the bait if at all possible... ;-)

Stick around and sip some Water.

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

      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! 😞
