It is kind of ironic, one complaining that residents of a Spanish speaking country speak primarily Spanish. We Americans are know for being a bit ethnocentric... I don't think I've seen a lot of complaints about the language barrier on this forum. Mostly just observations and a " FYI" shout out. Which is good so we are more prepared and our expectations are level... I will get a translator app too just in case. Work on my Spanish, cuz if ya don't use, ya lose it. And hope for the best...

When in March? I'm booked with Dr. Lopez for 3/18 in TJ. They both use the same hospital and hotel. Amanda Rae

Also, thanx to those who commented that have sleep apnea too. It helped hearing from everyone. Amanda Rae

It's all so overwhelming... Most of the time I'm confident about this... But sometimes... Ya know? Amanda Rae

Awesome. Thanx for the feedback. Amanda Rae

To those who have been sleeved by Dr. Lopez... How many surgeries does he do per day? This is a question I've asked my coordinator, but I want to hear it from recent patients too. Amanda Rae

Just type in their user name in place of the email. Amanda Rae

No attack meant here either. My apologies if I came across that way. I was agreeing with the sentiment (new person; no profile; singing praises)... Not issuing an attack. I should have clarified. That said, I'm glad your experience went well. I'm still preop and very excited... And nervous. Amanda Rae

Any Ohioans heading to Mexico for surgery or have gone to Mexico? Amanda Rae

I'm March 18th. I'm mostly excited now, but also very nervous too. I'm with Dr. Lopez. Amanda Rae

My intent is the be sleeved by Dr Lopez in March, as long as the funds are available (it's been a Murphy's Law kinda year). I would love to hear people who've used Dr. Lopez offer their thoughts and experiences on him. And how you're doing now, postop. Thank you in advance. Amanda Rae

Mi Doctor is a fully functioning hospital. Jerusalem is a clinic in a strip mall. I have a high BMI which increases the risk so I felt more comfortable with a hospital. Also, Dr. Almanza st Jerusalem does the lowest BMI 1st so you may be towards the end of the line. There has been some recent controversy as to how many surgeries he does a day. Reports of 8+ have been made. I do not know from experience. Good luck and whichever direction you go I wish you a safe and successful surgery/recovery. Amanda Rae

My hubby is the king of double negatives. "That don't make no sense." Grrrrrrrrrr. Amanda Rae

Makes me crazy! Amanda Rae

Drives me batty!

How about saying, "I'd rather not talk about it as it is personal, but thank you for the compliment."? Amanda Rae

Or you can both move it to 3/18 with me! :-D Amanda Rae

Do they still do refund anticipation loans? Amanda Rae
