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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
