I am 20 years old and I am 5'5'' and my weight is 277 Lbs. I will be doing my surgery in Mexico, Tijuana with doctor Garcias. So if anyone is interested in being my buddy and going together that would be very awesome.[/quote']

I was like you' date=' I didn't see many comments on Lopez in the beginning when I joined this site so I wasn't even considering him at first. But as I did my research, and I talked with a lady on here who went with Lopez, she has said nothing but wonderful things about him. For his price and experience, I'm going with him.[/quote']

You will love both he and hos wife. The three of us that had surg with him on 10-10-12, are doing great. He's very skilled and professional. I felt super safe and cared for. One of us got a bad cough and pains. She called and left him a message, and he called her back that day! My own Dr in the US won't do that. Feel secure in your decision, try.

I had my surgery with Dr Lopez on 10-10-12. I met two fabulous women that did too. We all met in the van when Abraham picked us up. You will all stay at the Marriott. It's super boring' date=' minimal TV, food is awful too. Bring some broth or cubes with you, also Crystal light packets!!!!!

I was alone, and so was another girl. We hit it off so well they let us room together in the hospital. The second day after your surgery you will be itching to get back to the hotel. After the first day at the hotel, you will be sooo over it, and ready to go home. We didn't hurt at all, just the gas pains.

But, there were four of us at Mi hospital, and we are own support group. We talk every single day, off and on all day long. You will fall in love with your sister sleevers!!( or brother) we were all women, and had so much in common.

Dr Lopez is wonderful! All of the Dr's there are. Go with your gut... No pun intended:)

They are both wonderful Dr's. I believe ready2bskinny had him. She is one of the four that had him, we three had Lopez and his wife.

      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.
