Hi Everyone,

I hadn't planned on checking in for a while, then I learned of a rumor floating around about Dr. Lopez in Tijuana. I know some of you have commented that in the past the aftercare service was not up to your standards and that some of you have had problems with healing, acid reflux, even rejection.

The ones who have had to endure these problems are good people I'm sure. Sometimes in the stress of living through it, venting is a healthy part of the recovery process. I want to encourage those who are venting to keep commentary honest and accurate.

Since I have been a patient with Dr. Lopez, there have been staff changes surgery center changes and policy changes, all of which were set into motion to correct the very concerns of those who've had experiences not up to their standards/expectations.

My thought is that if Dr. Lopez responded to these concerns by being pro-active and made necessary changes, does that not show he is concerned? Does that not show he cares about his reputation? Does that not show he cares about his patients? Change is often made to improve the outcomes of things. Is change some sort of admission of wrong doing? Or, Does change arise form a need to improve outcomes? you decide.

From this site, I have yet to hear from anyone who has "visited" his office since June 04. I have been there 4 times since and all of the new systems are firmly in place and working well. I have had a chance to actually speak with--in person, to other patients men and women, who feel the office has provided fine service in a caring environment. Some of these people had their bands inserted 3 years ago.

As far as rumors are concerned, they are merely unverified comments, usually hearsay. You owe it to yourself to see the best, and receive care from the best doctors your money can buy.

Sincerely,

Margret

She can't tell you who, because they don't exist!

Lisa,

I told you, there is no one sweetie. I'm sorry, but if there were they'd say you got big dimples..Hey how can you eat egg rolls anyway, I'm dying for solid foods.

Love Margret

Leatha, I have good reason to be concerned. Margret's borderline harassment and stalking is frightening in today's world. Why was she lurking in my profile yesterday after she already knows everything about me? How does she know everything about me? She's spying on me. She sent e-mails to my very private e-mail address. It's freaky that a complete stranger wants to know all my private information. Her e-mail said "you better be careful." What's that supposed to mean? It's damn creepy.

Megan, thanks for spreading the sunshine. xo

Penni,

Sounds fun!! I like Olives in my Dirty Margarita!! Can someone tell Michelle to stop getting in my GRILL..

Love Margret

I hope you're joking about your son. That's sad. now I'm totally bummed out. Take care of him. Kids are the future of theis crazy mixed up world.

Love

Margret

I wish I was joking Margaret..between one son with Bi Polar and one son in remission from cancer and another son dying from cancer..I know all too well about taking care of my children

Sometimes you just gotta laugh, Michelle. Keeps you from crying.

Oh, Michelle. I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart hurts for you.

Please accept my best wishes for your family. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

Michelle,

Theres a special place in Heaven for people like you, God bless you and your Family... I mean that...

Love, Margret

Well said, darlin'. That's pretty much how it's been with that precocious daughter of mine. Just keep smiling and stick to my guns, even though I feel like falling apart.

I sure could use an end to the rain we're having, though. Nothing lifts my spirits more than either a) sunshine, or snow. Right now it's just grey grey grey. It's enough to give you the blahs.

So true Lisa so true

Thanks Margaret & Vicki

Now I'm going to go lie down, my esophagitis is flairing up right now feeling very nauseaous

Send the blahs my way any ol' time. I love the rain!

I love it too, but in December we should be up to our butt cheeks in beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Instead we have a thick layer of ice over everything, and it's pouring down rain. It doesn't get more "yuck" than that.

I'm waiting for the frogs and locusts next.

Apparently Lopez doesn't require a mental evaluation before banding!
