Thank you for your detailed post on your experience, I'm scheduled to be sleeved with Dr Lopez March 5th, getting a little nervous.
I am using corvala at hospital angele for a vertical sleeve in june of 2015. I have a bmi of 44. the hospital angeles case coordinator quickly steered me away from considering the plication procedure as they have apparently had greater longer term success with the vertical sleeve with less complications. I was originally considering the plicantion procedure because it is less invasive.
I finally heard back from MBC today. I have decided to stick with them since my friend's surgeon is there. I did get a reply email from Anakaren from Dr. Lopez' office, and was shocked to see the special pricing of the sleeve at Vida was only $4600! I'll be paying $4500 at Mi. :( oh well, I'm still excited/nervous/thrilled that I have a date set.
My surgery date is Friday, March 13th (Friday the 13th!!) Luckily, I am not superstitious!!
No need to worry M.. Just call or email Anakaren.. I just came home today from being sleeved by Dr. Lopez and this may sound crazy but I had a great time in TJ, Mex. the surgery went off without a hitch and we had a blast. My new sleeve brother and sister and I hung out all week long. 3 of us had our surgery on Monday..
Just made it home.. And that was so ridiculous on MBC part.. It's a great thing that i travel a lot out of the country and I'm always covered with traveled insurance in case something's happen I know I can alway book a hotel over night and I will be back home the next day.. They need to stop the madness.. Ppl beware of the tricks.. They did a similar thing to a girl who was getting sleeved the same day as me named Maria. Smh!
Dr. Lopez was previously affiliated with Mexico Bariatric Center and it's sister company Specialized Bariatrics- he left after his contract expired and started his own practice. MBC has made things very messy and muddled for clients who had booked prior to the split and caused a lot of issues.
Go through Dr. Lopez' new company directly; it might take a bit longer than usual with handling new and existing clients but I'm sure they'll get back to you as soon as possible, its a great team.

what recent drama? I am researching going to Mexico for the sleeve since my insurance doesn't cover anything
