Going April 12. Dr Lopez. Any tips for hospital?? Is area safe? Parents are joining me. They are 65. Wanted to come for support. Hubby is taking time off when I return. Can they go out around the hospital?

I will be there at the time also....from what I hear the area is safe and MiDoctor is a great facility...I am with Dr. Garcia though! Hope to see you there!

Sound great

I was sleeved there on the 21st of March with Dr. Lopez. The patient coordinators, Abraham and Eduardo will take you parents out to good areas for shopping or for food. The areas they will take them is safe. They also can spend time at the Mariott which is nice. I had an amazing experience with the staff and doctors. I can't say enough good things about the entire process. Be sure to tip the patient coordinators/drivers as this is how they make most of their money.

I LOVE dr. Garcia. He's he sweetest, most soft spoken humble man. Seriously. And he still responds to my emails. His wife helps him answer them sometimes because his English isn't as good, but he speaks English good enough to get a point across. . My favorite emails from dr. Garcia are the ones he actually answers himself with the typos and silly mistakes. <3. Seriously, can you tell how much I like him? And I'm the type of person that doesn't trust anyone, and I 120% felt at ease letting him take out a big hunk of my stomach. Hehe.

Can't rave enough about him.

I was concerned as to how you felt about him now after I read about some if your issues post op...But it is good to know that you still feel the same way you do about him after all this has taken place....

The stuff that happened to me didn't have anything to do with dr. Garcia. Even though the nurse here in the US in the ER wasn't being completely nice about the fact that I got my surgery in TJ (" so were you just in TJ and decided to get surgery?" Uh. Sure. We were vacationing and just got wild hairs up our.......) she did have to admit that "this complication has nothing to do with surgery technique though, actually, your body just wanted to clot." And dr. Garcia and Luna both, have been emailing me about my progress. Super sweet.

I'd love to go back in a year and just have lunch w dr. Garcia and his wife.

How did u know you had a clot? What were your symptoms and how long after surgery did it all happen?

Mine was intra abdominal. I was fine until a week out. It actually started when I ate puréed cream of chicken Soup. I had maybe an oz of it and as soon as i was done it felt like someone was ripping apart my bottom 3 ribs on both sides. Very painful. I could tell that my spleen and pancreas weren't happy. A Protein drink did it the next day an then after a couple l days of everything making it happen I just stayed with clear liquids. Then I had extreme abdominal pain for about another week and a half. By extreme I mean nothing made it stop but one of dh's percocets and I hate taking narcotics. It took 3 er visits and a pointless visit w a jerk dr. To find out what the problem was.

[msjazzyldy 49]

How did they correct the problem?!? Blood thinners!?!? I am so glad that you are feeling better

[amytug 996]

Yep, in the hospital I was on a heparin drip an thy checked my blood uh, thickness? Every 9 hours I believe it was. I'm now on a blood thinner for 6 mos or so.
