I was just sleeved by the Dr. Lopez & Dr. Osuna on July 23, 2012. They were very caring and sensitive to my needs as were the nurses at the hospital. They visited me every night while in the hospital to make sure I was doing okay. Once released from the hospital, they both made visits to the hotel to make sure I was comfortable and not in any kind of pain. I would definitely recommend them both.

I'm going to have my VSG on September 21 by Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallarta. I figured if I'm going to Mexico, I'm going to the ocean. I am super excited!!!

I would love to make it a vacation too however I have found it nearly an impossible task to get a flight to Puerto Vallarta from the east coast. Not only in price but without 3 stops and 13 hours. I think if I am feeling bad I am not going to want to be in a plane for that long.

You could go to Cancun?!?! I was only looking at AA and Delta, but I finally looked at United/Continental. Much cheaper and shorter fly time. I will connect in Houston to PV.

Flying out of Houston only 2.5 hours. Paid a high price for the tickets but the other flights were 7.5there and 11.5 hours back.

Hi there. My wife and I are going to have them do our VSGs Sept 19th. I have read a good many positive things about them. They are young and fantastic surgeons. We are coming in from Dallas, TX to PV. I think we made the right choice. We were looking at a few of the drs, but the kicker to me was that the surgury is done in a hospital, not a clinic. They are putting us up at the Marriott, which is right on the beach, and we can fly in direct from DFW in about 2 hours or so. We looked at them, Ortiz, Joya, Alverez and a few others. They all are good, I am sure. The problem with alvarez is that it is a 7 hour drive to the border, and he is alot more expensive. Not that that makes all the difference in the world, but Lopez and Osuna come very highly regarded in this field, even by bariatric surgeons here in Dallas. That is a postive sign.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
