Lopez phone number



Recommended Posts

I am due for my first fill and have had a bunch of stupid personal problems. My car and cell phone were stolen, my key to storage was on my key ring, blah blah blah....anyways, can someone please help with Dr Lopez's phone number? I could find it myself but it will take some serious doing. Any help would be appreciated. Or email?

Have lost 15 pounds since my surgery on Nov. 19th and have only had a few problems.

I am looking forward to my first fill!!!!

Thanks!

Christine:)

I was just wondering, who are these people? They work for Lopez? Why have I not heard of them before? I have called Lopezs office 4 times in the last two weeks. I leave messages in both english and spainish. Kind of bothers me.

I never said this before due to the attitude I recieved by just being a Lopez patient but I too went through Belighter. The only thing I can say is that I did not spend on extra cent on my surgery either way. They neither helped or hurt me. I did not need them but they made me feel better before my surgery. God sorts those situations out. I let it go.

I wish people who used or will use Lopez could feel more comfortable posting here since it is easier than other sites. The last thing I wanted after surgery was the sarcasim I recieved by a few certain people here.

Thanks in advance.

I am the senior patient coordinator for Dr. Lopez and Anita is also a patient coordinator. I have had my band for 3 years, and am at goal weight. Anita has had her band for 10 months, and is close to goal weight.

Hi LegallyBlond and Diane,

Legally Blond,

Diane said it. Call her or Anita about fill appointments and they can get you scheduled. It is so much easier calling the US to get appointments scheduled.

Since you went through Belighter, they should help you but then again they didn't make anything off you did they. It should be about caring and thoughtfulness. I have had calls already and I have been home one day. I was also faxed some information(nutrition) that I left at the hospital. Patient coordinators are great when they care and it isn't about commisiion. I felt they were concerned for my health and well being first. Sure they didn't go to the hospital with me but they called and called my family and relayed messages. That takes more time and is so much more important than holding my hand. They held my wife's hand and really relaxed her and my three daughters.

Sure, now Mr. Tiesi will probably threaten to come after my daughters. I am tired of threats and Belighter.

Know you always have surgeon aftercare and call Anita or Diane for help. I posted both numbers earlier for you.

Best of luck.

Diane and Anita,

Thanks for your help. My wife said you two made her feel great.

Brad

      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.
