I know Bariatric Pal doesn't have a relationship with Dr Lopez Corvala (anymore). I'm not sure why, but based on my research I'm leaning towards surgery with him. I want to have surgery in a full fledged hospital rather than an outpatient center and like his other qualifications.

I emailed with Dr Ortiz nurse and coordinator and they were evasive with their answers to my very specific questions despite their good patient reviews.

My final piece is to find some people that have experience to help me dedice if I should go with him...

Anyone out there have experience with Corvala?? Thanks

I'm having my sleeve surgery on December 16th in Tijuana Mexico . I've heard nothing but good things about their surgeons and medical staff. I'm excited and nervous at the same time about having surgery outside of the country

I am literally on my flight back from Tijuana right now. Had my VSG done with Dr. Garcia at CER. Wonderful experience. I met other people down there who had equally great experiences with the surgeons affiliated here. Beautiful facilities, excellent caring staff who took time to sit and discuss all questions.

Bar none a better experience than anything I had in the states. Do your research here and see which doctors and facilities seem to fit you best. But, I have no qualms recommending surgery in Tijuana after my experience.

Good luck to all of you!

I'd be concerned about evasive answers. There are so many surgeons that have wonderful reviews and feedback.

I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Corvala on 02/16/2016. Kim is my case worker and has answered so many questions and just eased any fears I have. So far I have enjoyed my experience with them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
