Oh, and if you like the coordinator and trust them is a huge deal. I watched a fellow patient totally get screwed over by a coordinating agency regarding her hotel while I was being discharged.

Can not and will not speak on other surgeons but i used Dr. Alejandro Lopez and i site his first name Bc there is another Dr. Lopez.....he did mt surgery at Mi Doctor and I an happy with my results, my driver Abraham and Eduardo. They were all very attentive to me and my needs. I would recommend them. I am a lawyer and know te ramifications of the hearsay on these threads. People need to be very careful wht they say in print. Be mindful also that for many of these doctors it is also about feeding and providing for their families. I am sure you would not want ppl to spread gossip and untruths about you in your profession even if you are a stay at home mom....that is your profession. Likewise, the statements about "having proof" unless it is your own experience and or you were there it is still hearsay. If anyone would like to inbox me about my own personal experience with Dr. Lopez, and Dr. Ortiz I will be happy to answer questions.

I had surgery in Oct 2012 with Dr Lopez in Puerta Vallarta, the hospital is new, clean and quiet. Nursing staff were great, only evening staff didnt speak much english. Noticed they didnt wear gloves but washed hands. Dr Lopez and wife Dr Osuna were great, I had no problems after surgery. The hotel was very nice. Anakaren was the co ordinator for Dr Lopez and she was around if I ever needed her. What I liked about being in PV was that I was Dr Lopez's only surgery that day and he had only two the day. before.I have no complaints what so ever, some of the remarks on here just take with a grain of salt. If you want I have Anakarens number and she's his co ordinator and nutritionist in Pv and Guadalajara, so you can call her and ask her any questions about Dr Lopez. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
