Hey, I posted previously asking some questions about having a gastric sleeve in Mexico.

I would really like to get the ball rolling and start talking to some doctors via Skype, preferably Dr. J. Lopez.

If anyone has talked to him or had him as their surgeon can you please give me your personal experiences, likes and dislikes. Also how do I go about talking with him??

Thanks for your time!

What does OCC mean?

Stop screwing around and go to the OCC

Ha! This post made me chuckle. Sometimes when I see others asking about other surgeons and facilities, I've been tempted to say this exact same thing. But, then I remember that while OCC was the best choice for ME and I am thrilled with my decision and my outcome, not everyone has the same priorities that I do. So a different surgeon or facility might really be the best choice for them.

I'm already 9 months post-op, more than 55 pounds off and still going for more, Dr. J. Lopez was my surgeon, I’m never going to regret having him as my doctor, he's really kind and a really good surgeon, not sure if he's the best one, but for me, he was, I had no complications, NEVER, I stayed in the hospital 2 days and 2 extra days at their recovery house, I used Bariatric Pal as my coordinators, and they also treated me like a friend... get in touch with david@bariatricpal.com or directly to Dr. Lopez drlopez@bariatricpal.com, I also got in contact with ana@bariatricpal.com, I used them three, and Mike, the guy who picked me up and drove me back to San Diego.... I surely recommend Dr. J. Lopez!!

      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! 😞
