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' date=' 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.[/quote']

See that's what I worry about with the language barrier. What if something was more serious than that going on? They might not be able to understand. Also I would be a little peeved that Dr. Lopez didn't do the surgery and they didn't bother to tell you someone different was doing it.

Dr Lopez almost always has a second doc in the OR with him. I looked at it as one of the benefits of going to him. I had mine in Puerto Vallarta, so his wife, Dr. Osuna, helped with my surgery. I think Dr. Ortiz assists in TJ.

Did you have Edgar as your anesthesiologist? OMG... what a hottie!
