[AnnieLytical 29]

I am so excited and freaked out at the same time ) I will be in San Diego on the sixth and surgery on the seventh.

Are you traveling alone or is someone coming with you?

I fly in on 7th and surgery on the 8th. Like you i am excited and freaked all in one!

When do you start your pre-op diet?

I'll start my diet on the 24th ... I'm thinking to buy Adkins shakes or the powder whey Protein and make my own shakes ... I think the powder way is cheaper

Newly posting, reading & enjoying for awhile. Cigna insurance approval received. Surgery date January 20th & the waiting is hard but exciting. Love this community so much. Surgery at NMH in Chicago with Dr. E. Hungness. Happy to know I'm not alone.

My date is 21 January, at Mi hospital in Tijuana. Dr. Lopez is doing the sleeve.

I'm so excited! I'm getting sleeved January 20 by Dr. alejandro lopez in Tijuana, Mexico! He operates out of Hospital MI Doctor if anyone else is going to be there! Let's meet up!

Hello, I get sleeved by him on the 21st of Jan. So, we can certainly meet up. I live in Cinti but will fly to San Diego on the 20th

Not to discourage you, while in the phone with a consultant or whoever arranges everything they told me that Dr. Lopez leaves a tube in your stomach and you go back to the motel and the next day his assistant cones to the motel to remove it, also my cousin has done a lot of research she also did hers in Mexico but paid twice as much with the top Doctor. Dr. Lopez fits in as many surgeries in one day as he can and when you're done he's done and that's scary he also don't have the qualities of the two doctors in the same practice as him. If you can change your doctor please do and go with Cabrrera however it's spelled.

Its alright for someone to give info but I don't think its fair to say to go to another specific Dr. There are lots of those in tj

It's normal to leave a drain in. I've been told Dr. Lopez does a max of 4 surgeries a day. You spend 2 nights in the hospital and 2 at the hotel. I also have done tons of research and nothing of what you have written has changed my mind.

I did a lot of research and I found only great things about Dr Lopez...and a drain is normal I'll be there on the seventh anyway wherever I go I know I'm in Gods hands God bless you all :)
