Choosing between Dr. Garcia and Dr. Lopez



Recommended Posts

I used Dr. Lopez when he was with ALighterMe.com I was very impressed with ALighterMe. I only met Dr. Lopez once before my surgery, and while his bedside manner wasn't bad, he wasn't as friendly or as infomative as Dr. Ortiz who was his co surgeon. I think for me, it came down to I was very happy with the coordination company I booked the surgery through because they are really the ones taht take care of you while you're in Mexico. They took care of me at the hotel, took care of my transportation, and everything I needed, they checked on me in the hospital and were invaluable holding my mothers hand while I was in surgery andduring my recovery. I highly recomend ALighterMe.com, I know neither Dr. Lopez nor Dr. Garcia work for them any longer, but they are a great company, between Dr. Lopez and Dr. Garcia, they've both performed hundreds of sleeve surgeries, and I did meet Dr. Garcia while I was at Mi hospital, and found him to be more friendly than Dr. Lopez. Please feel free to message me if I can answer any other questions. Good luck to you!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
