Hey, I posted previously asking some questions about having a gastric sleeve in Mexico.

I would really like to get the ball rolling and start talking to some doctors via Skype, preferably Dr. J. Lopez.

If anyone has talked to him or had him as their surgeon can you please give me your personal experiences, likes and dislikes. Also how do I go about talking with him??

Thanks for your time!

What does OCC mean?

Stop screwing around and go to the OCC

Ha! This post made me chuckle. Sometimes when I see others asking about other surgeons and facilities, I've been tempted to say this exact same thing. But, then I remember that while OCC was the best choice for ME and I am thrilled with my decision and my outcome, not everyone has the same priorities that I do. So a different surgeon or facility might really be the best choice for them.

I'm already 9 months post-op, more than 55 pounds off and still going for more, Dr. J. Lopez was my surgeon, I’m never going to regret having him as my doctor, he's really kind and a really good surgeon, not sure if he's the best one, but for me, he was, I had no complications, NEVER, I stayed in the hospital 2 days and 2 extra days at their recovery house, I used Bariatric Pal as my coordinators, and they also treated me like a friend... get in touch with david@bariatricpal.com or directly to Dr. Lopez drlopez@bariatricpal.com, I also got in contact with ana@bariatricpal.com, I used them three, and Mike, the guy who picked me up and drove me back to San Diego.... I surely recommend Dr. J. Lopez!!

      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.
