I had surgery with Dr.Lopez on 6/17/13. He and his team were great! I booked through A Lighter Me and was well taken care of. I found them all to be very thorough with each of four doctors going over my history before surgery. Very happy with the outcome...33lbs in 6 weeks. May not be as much as some peop0le, but for me ( typically a very slow loser) this is great. Could not ave done it on my own! Good luck to you. Any questions email me. :rolleyes:

Yes, Dr. Lopez was one of my doctor's. I specifically had Dr. Ortiz that did my surgery at the Mi Doctor Hospital. But Dr. Lopez called me several times (as did Dr. Ortiz) when I was recovering and he is the one who took out my drain the day before I went home. I also have a letter from him so that I could return to work. His office also filled out all of my paperwork so that I could get time off of work to begin with. I liked him very much, including every team member, nurse, and the rest of his staff at the hospital. My surgery was on 07/16/13 and I've lost 4 sizes in 3 months! I loved ALM and all 4 coordinators that I worked with. That would be Ronda, Janese, Eduardo and my favorite guy of all, Abraham! That guy was just Heaven sent! I am so grateful for their concern, their care, the safety I felt when I was traveling around town with them. They made everything so easy. The only stress I had were the plane trips because I hate flying. I've said this many times, but it's worth repeating, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I had to.

      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
