Sorry I'm not sure how to reply to a particular thread...I'm new to this. I have been talking with alighterme and they gave me one price for Dr. Ortiz, but when I told them I wanted Dr. Lopez they told me $750 more (I'm not letting money make my decision especially not worth my life over $750 dollars). I then read on here that Dr. Lopez was not with alighterme anymore so I tried contacting Dr. Lopez direct which lead me to Mexico Bariatric Center where she told me that alighterme is lying to me about Dr. Lopez working for them. In the meantime I have a friend that used alighterme a year ago (Dr. Ortiz assisted Dr. Lopez with her surgery). She contacted alighterme & they told her he was with them until the end of the year. I'm so CONFUSED & overwhelmed with making a decision. Talking to both of these companies has now made me very skeptical of using either one. I'm not sure who to believe and not sure if I want to put my trust in them for my surgery.

I am not scheduled but want to go this month! I've even bought everything for my pre-op diet. I just need to make my decision. I'm really not scared about going to Mexico I just want to make the right decision on a surgeon.

I don't know the details but it would not be unusual for there to be a contract involved. Perhaps they went out on their own but are obligated until the end of the year. Who knows. But choose who you want. According to Lopezs website the price is about the same.

Use the contact information on the website I listed. They are very easy to get a hold of. I spoke with them briefly. I am still using Dr Ortiz bc I have never heard a bad word about him or a single issue. But that's me. Choose who you want.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
