It is pretty intense to consider the drastic change to the body, and going to a strange place to have it done! With that being said, these surgeons are so experienced, with such a great number of surgeries, and so many people are reporting happy results. And even though it's a bit daunting that this procedure is permanent and irreversible, if you're anything like me and sick tired of losing a great amount of weight only to regain it time and time again, the permanent nature of this feels very comforting. I have clothes that range from 4 to 14 and put everything under size 12 in storage. It's going to feel so good to get of each bigger size as I lose knowing I'll never have to go back to them again and can give them away for good...woo hoo!

I'm having surgery (Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy) with him in December. I hope you will share your experience with him, his staff, and Mi Doctor Hospital. Best wishes!

Hi Lalaj, My insurance won't cover for me, so I'm self paying and having it done in Mexico. If you haven't already, you should check it out. I'm having it done via a single incision through the belly button, so less scarring and faster recovery. Good luck to you!

Congratulations!

Hi Cody's mom, Thank you for your post. I actually am already scheduled for the procedure with Dr. Lopez in TJ, and was hoping to hear from anyone who actually had that procedure with him, or another doctor down there.

I just saw that you had it done in Houston. Thank you for sharing Krystal.

Thank you for your reply, Krystal. By any chance, did you have it done by alejandro lopez in Mexico?

I am scheduling for single sleeve gastrectomy with Dr. alejandro lopez in Tijuana through MexicoBariatrics and would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has had this surgery with him. Thanks!

Really???No one out there has had the Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy???

I am pre-op, and have told only a 2 family members and 3 close friends. I have decided it is best not to tell people at work, but am concerned about having a good "cover" for my 3 week absence, and soft food diet upon return. Any suggestions for a good plausible story? I don't want anyone to think I'm seriously ill or anything.

I'm scheduled with him later this year, and was very impressed with the credentials of the physicians, clinicians, and hospital, but would also like to hear patient feedback about him. Anyone???
