Hi! This is my first post on any of the forums. I am scheduled with Dr. Lopez for January 2016. Dr. Lopez contacted me by email with 24hr of my initial inquiry. He was very kind and informative! My coordinator with bariatricpal is awesome as well. I have general anxiety disorder, so I ask tons of questions and email him every other day basically lol, but he is always nice and answers all my questions without pause or complaint. I had to schedule for January 2016 due to my funds to pay not being available till then, but they were very understanding and went ahead and scheduled my surgery even though it is for next year. My experience so far with bariatricpal has been outstanding. I look forward to hearing more about your journey with Dr. Lopez. Keep me updated please!
