I had surgery with Dr.Lopez on 6/17/13. He and his team were great! I booked through A Lighter Me and was well taken care of. I found them all to be very thorough with each of four doctors going over my history before surgery. Very happy with the outcome...33lbs in 6 weeks. May not be as much as some peop0le, but for me ( typically a very slow loser) this is great. Could not ave done it on my own! Good luck to you. Any questions email me. :rolleyes:

Yes, Dr. Lopez was one of my doctor's. I specifically had Dr. Ortiz that did my surgery at the Mi Doctor Hospital. But Dr. Lopez called me several times (as did Dr. Ortiz) when I was recovering and he is the one who took out my drain the day before I went home. I also have a letter from him so that I could return to work. His office also filled out all of my paperwork so that I could get time off of work to begin with. I liked him very much, including every team member, nurse, and the rest of his staff at the hospital. My surgery was on 07/16/13 and I've lost 4 sizes in 3 months! I loved ALM and all 4 coordinators that I worked with. That would be Ronda, Janese, Eduardo and my favorite guy of all, Abraham! That guy was just Heaven sent! I am so grateful for their concern, their care, the safety I felt when I was traveling around town with them. They made everything so easy. The only stress I had were the plane trips because I hate flying. I've said this many times, but it's worth repeating, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I had to.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
