I'm scheduled for August 4th with Dr. Alejandro Lopez and looking for anyone else going during the same time frame.

Hi Patricia. I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallarta on August 13. Wishing you much success next week!

Can you please tell me how much are you guys paying?

Hi- I'm paying $5,200. Everything's included except airfare.

Which hospital or clinic in Puerto Vallarta, I am condering PV with Dr. Joya or Castaneda.

Dr. Alejandro Lopez at San Javier Hospital. Staying at the Marriott on the beach.

Thank You, please keep me posted.

Hi all! My surgery date was moved up to 29 July, so I'm 5 days post op and I'm feeling great. My surgery was at Hospital Medica Ebor and the care I received was outstanding. I have nothing but good words for Dr. Lopez and his staff.

Freebird14--the Marriot is great; seems to be a hub of people and activity, but it is beautiful.

Patricia, I'm so happy to hear you're doing well. Thank you so much for the update. I'm sending healing thoughts your way and wishing you great success. I'm so excited for you!

And I must say that your positive words come my nerves down a little bit. Just a little over one week for me.

Patricia-- Did you bring lots of supplies with you? I already started packing my little suitcase with 3 kinds of gauze, two kinds of tape, chicken broth packets, Vitamin Water, liquid Crystal light. Did you bring all that with you? Anything else? My sister is coming with me, but I still want to have everything I need.

May I also ask if you were with/met other patients of Dr. Lopez's? Was your surgery in the morning? Sorry for all the questions!

Hope you're feeling better and better!

I had surgery with Dr. Joya at Amerimed Hospital in July. The Dr. And staff were wonderful. The nutritionalist Natalie speaks fluent English as does Dr. Joya. And the hospital is newly remodeled, immaculate and very comfortable with around the clock staff.

@@Freebird14 I did take guaze pads (adhesive kind) and chicken broth packets. The packets were a Godsend on the airplane. I did not take any crystal light or water; I went to the local Walmart (a taxi ride away) and brought some flavored zero calorie Water. They had a geat variety to chose from and some GREAT flavors we don't have here in the US.

I didn't met any other patients; in fact, I was the only patient in the hospital during my stay. Dr. Leo picked me from the hotel about 8:00 to take me to rhe hospital, which was about a 15-20 drive. I had to complete some paperwork and then was taken to my room. I was taken back to the OR about 10; D Lopez and Dr. Edgar came to the room about 9:00 to discuss the surgery and answer any questions.

I heard from AnaKaren, the patient Coordinator for Dr. Lopez. Dr. Leo will be meeting me and my sister at the airport when we arrive on Tuesday afternoon. I packed chicken broth packets as well as a small bottle of Crystal light drops. Also, gauze, bandages, antibiotic ointment. Thanks for the Walmart tip! :-)
