sleeveforkayla 24 Posted October 6, 2013 I've heard some people say that Dr. Lopez no longer works with A Lighter Me in Mexico. I am scheduled with him for October 22, getting a little worried about it now wondering if he's gonna be there as I really wanted him to do my surgery.

ChihuahuaMom 23 Posted October 14, 2013 I am on the schedule for surgery with him in November. I am going through Mexico Bariatric Center. I know he also has his own company now, with his wife. This is the website for it - it lists a $4200 price now, which is a lot less than I'm paying through MBC. But I am going to stick with them, Christy my coordinator has done a huge amount of work & answered a million questions for me. http://specializedbariatrics.com/ I don't think he is with A lighter me any more, he isn't listed on their website. But maybe he will still do the surgery as you contracted with them / him specifically? I don't know. I think I would ask your coordinator that question, get it in writing. That or contact Dr. Lopez through his site, just to make sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikadoBound 3 Posted February 26, 2014 Dr Lopez did my sleeve 1/22/14 and I couldn't be happier. It was a very good experience. The staff and doctors were great, caring and attentive. I am 5 weeks out today and have done very well. Make use of the coordinator and the nutritionist, they are there for you to help and answer any questions that you might have. We live close so we just drove. Raul the driver is wonderful. They are all there to watch over you and take care of you, even when you are in the hotel. My weight loss has been slow and steady, and I am happy with that, I would like to avoid as much sag as possible. Hope this helps you. Good luck and enjoy your journey. 1 Patricia Tate Johnson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissCK 55 Posted February 27, 2014 Hi byebyefatgirl! I'm getting sleeved w/Dr Lopez in Tijuana on Monday 3/3! I'm starting to get so nervous! My coordinator is Christy with Mexico Bariatric Center. Have you heard of her? I'm so scared and I didn't think I would be. Happy and excited but scared something horrible could go wrong. How are you feeling now that it's so close?

Jade8384 1 Posted March 9, 2014 I had my gastric sleeve with Dr. Lopez on 3/3/14. All went really well. I felt like they truly cared and Dr. Lopez greeted me with a warm touch and smile each time he came to my room in the hospital. He allowed me to ask any and all questions. I especially liked how he didn't make me feel rushed like I needed to get all of my questions out at once. My experience with Dr. Lopez and his team was impressive. It was way better than I personally expected going into it. I would personally recommend Dr. Lopez to anyone who might be considering having any bariatric surgery. 1 Patricia Tate Johnson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
