tampa 55 Posted May 19, 2013 Made up my mind to get the sleeve. Very excited. I am self-pay and can only afford Mexico. Was thinking about Dr.Lopez. The price was good. Anyone go to him? Any hidden Costs? How many days in hospital? Amount of time from when you turn in paper work to when you have surgery? Thanks for help. Ready to get this done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexysdad04 43 Posted May 19, 2013 I went with dr Elias Ortiz he was trained by dr lopez everything went perfect! No hidden cost I paid my $4500 (I think the prices went up recently) and that was it of course if you want to tip your driver that's up to you. Jenese the coordinator took care of everything for me down to my Aflac paperwork if you want you can look up my old post I have my step by step of how everything went, or you can just ask me any question ill be happy to answer any question Allen Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lonestarstategal 10 Posted May 19, 2013 I am going to Dr. Lopez June 17, same day surgery. $4650, plus $500 to remove gall bladder. Apparently the gall bladder can go bad after this surgery. So I decided to do it with my sleeve to avoid potentially being cut open again when I get home... I am very happy with my choice in doctor:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judy79 18 Posted May 19, 2013 I went to Dr Quinones and it was $4500 with no extra fees. I got in when it was $4000 thankfully. I was treated very nicely,a nd he and the hospital were great!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
