October 8th Surgery @ Mi Doctor with Dr. Lopez... Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Yes, yes... I know i just said October..but that was the soonest I could do the surgery due to my husband's work schedule. Is there anyone else scheduled far ahead like me? It would be nice to talk to others while waiting...such a looooong wait..I mean..not as bad compared to a 5 year wait out here in Canada when covered by Insurance.

Someone talk to me before i lose my marbles!

Hi Heather, Im from Alberta and I had surgery with Dr Lopez Oct 2012, but my surgery was in Puerto Vallarta. Dr Lopez is a wonderful Dr, I had no problems after the surgery and the hotel in PV was great. My experience was good, I was the only surgery that day and he came to see me in the evening and I had his cell number if I needed to talk to him, he even drove my husband back to the hotel that pm. His assistant Anakaren was around all day. The waiting is the worst part. It'll go fast and its worth it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
