I have just returned to the hotel after two nights at Mi Doctor. Dr. Lopez performed my surgery and the entire staff at Mi Doctor is pleasant, helpful and willing to answer any questions.

When I first awoke from surgery, I wasn't prepared for the way I felt. I won't lie, it was painful. But, they do give you meds as soon as you ask for them, so no worries.

Good luck!

Kristen, what exactly was hurting? Your belly? Or pain from the gas?

Are you staying at the Marriott? I may have just seen you in the restaurant...

There was a lot of pressure from the gas, but my belly felt like it had gone ten rounds is prize fight and I was just being let in on that little secret. :-/

Like I said, they are fabulous about keeping up with meds and being a helpful a possible.

What I would like now is to have his damn drain out!

Kristen, are you at the Marriott? Are you from Nola? My brother in law said he spoke to a couple yesterday and the husband had on an LSU shirt. Just wondering if that was you?

Good luck! Experience was ok. I had researched it as much as my sis did so i did not know what to expect. Dr. Lopez was supposed to our surgery, however, we both feel like his associate, Dr. Ortiz did it. Our names on the board in the hall said dr. Ortiz, and he did all the follow ups. Dr. Lopez only came in right before surgery and introduced himself. She and I both had a hiatal hernia, so, that had a little added discomfort. I had very bad nausea but she didn't! She did wonderful! I kept asking for something for it and they kept giving me something for acid??? Language barrier??? But I am home, doing well, and so far, no regrets!

Again, good luck.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
