Hi ferchalicious , thanks for the encouraging words. I just sent off my email to book the date. It feels exciting, and in a good way. BTW, it feel weird to use your screen name.....is there an easier one I can use to address you?

I am told I can pick my date, and I want it done in August. Has anyone heard of either Dr. Lopez Corvala or Dr. jaime Ponce de leon in Tijuana MX?

Congratulations! Once you get past the recovery, you will realize that this is one of the best things you have ever done! I had a tummy tuck after losing 60 pounds, about 6 years ago. Unfortunately, I have gained all of my weight back, and am thinking of getting the gastric sleeve in Mexico to get the weight back off. I always did do things backwards! LOL! But even with all of this weight back on me, I still love my tummy! I'm happy for you, and wish you the best. And BTW, can you tell me how I get information about cosmetic surgery in Mexico? My daughter now wants a tummy tuck, and I want to ensure she gets the best she ca get. Can you guide me to a website or contact info for whoever did yours? Thanks, and more congrats! It is a long recovery (at least for me it was - they cut my muscles too and shortened them so I had a lot of pain), but hang in there. You look great already!

Hi Dr. Lopez, I am thinking of coming to Mexico for a gastric sleeve operation by you or one of your colleagues. My BMI is 31, so not too bad. I have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) and fibromyalgia. Because of these, I am in pain and fatigued most of the time. Plus, I have nerve damage from a previous L5-S1 discectomy/laminectomy with bone graft. Because of this, I take 6 mg of long-acting morphine, 3 times a day. With all of these things already happening with me, I am wondering if the gastric sleeve procedure might make me feel worse instead of helping me to loose weight? What are your thoughts on whether or not I should have the gastric sleeve? Thanks, Dawn

Hi, I am stressing too, but my stress is indecision. Should I, shouldn;t I? I read here about all the problems that people have, and it worries me. I am considering having the surgery done in Mexico, and I worry about what if something happens, and I can't get back to the doctor to see what is wrong?
