Has anyone been sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez Orgeta at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana?



Recommended Posts

If so, what was your experience? Any recommendations for other surgeons at Mi Doctor? My surgery is a little more than a week away (April 11th) and I'm getting nervous. Want to be sure I've made the safest choice.

There is a girl on YouTube that used him and had a wonderful experience her name is Kiana. If you check this site there were a few others that used him and all seemed to have great outcomes with him!

As you know I am going with Dr. Garcia at MiDoctor and I feel confident in my decision with him!!! TONS of ppl have vlogs about him and this website is loaded with information about Dr. Garcia!

Thanks, T. I don't see any info on Dr. Garcia on the website (A Lighter Me). Where can I get some information about him? Also, do you have a link to Kiana's YouTube video or another way for me to find it?

I'm also going with Dr. Lopez (4/26). I've second guessed myself so many times on which Dr and probably will again during the next 3 weeks. But currently I am confident in choosing Dr. Lopez. I chose him specifically because of specializing in high BMI patients. He has had no deaths and very few complications. Plus you get Dr. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz both bariatric surgeons and the anesthesiologist is also a trained surgeon as well. So 3 dr's in the OR.

Dr. Garcia is not with A Lighter Me. Ready 4 a Change is who you would contact for him. =)

I went to Dr. Lopez and also went through A Lighter Me and I can't recommend them ENOUGH!! My experience was great, and I was very well taken care of from my driver Abraham to the Dr, nurses and Eduardo! I was treated very very well and I don't have any regrets!!

I'm heading there on the 18th, I also think there is little info but I like the fact that its in a real hospital and 3 surgeons. I'm praying for the best. Kianna was also given a discount rate for her videos. I liked them they were informative.

Thank you to all for your responses. Today's the day! I'm in the airport in Phoenix waiting for my connecting flight to San Diego. I'm surprisingly calm (I'm probably delirious from the lack of food) and more than ready to get the surgery over with. Wish me luck!!

I had my surgery with Dr. Ortiz with AlighterMe he operates frequently with Dr, Lopez who trained him originally. My experience with my surgeon was outstanding. Very caring and attentive.

I've been sleeved! I'm at the Marriott in Tijuana. My experience has been great. I'm up and moving about, still tired but I feel much better than I anticipated. Just had a "meal" of chicken broth and a Popsicle. I couldn't finish the whole bowl of soup! Planning to go out shopping tomorrow with the driver from A Lighter Me and some of the other clients. I am so happy with my decision!

      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.
