My Husband and I are planning to have surgery in Feb 2013. We wanted to go to Dr. Preze in Cancun but because of our BMI Dr. Lopez is the better surgeon. I have been very impressed so far with the communication with his office, but i was wondering if anyone else had surgery by him?

I had surgery with Dr Lopez on 9/27, in TJ. Great experience and would do it again! I haven't posted my 'story' yet, but I will in the next week or so. My sister went with me and she will be returning in November to get a sleeve with Dr. Lopez.

thanks for the reply! I am a ball of emotions! I am excited most of all but i am also scared. Scared of the pain after the surgery (after reading some peoples issues after the surgery) scared that I will morn the loss of eating. I live in New Orleans we have really good food! But I know I have have to do this I am ready to do it. I have to become healthly! I am only 33 years old and my 65 year old assistant has more energy than me and less pains! I am ready to make the change because I know I HAVE to change I just dont LIKE change!

I'm booked with Dr. Lopez on Jan. 91/ 13. I've heard very good things about him, and if I didn't have work obligations, I'd be on my way now. A 6 year wait list in BC Canada

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
