Yes!! It is a mess! And I think MBC is acting real MESSY in particular- Dr Lopez is starting his own competing company, and MBC is mad and is making shady remarks about his qualifications. As for me, I booked through Dr Lopez directly after months of research, I didn't even know he was affiliated with MB****il after surgery. It was a great experience and he's a wonderful surgeon, I wish they'd leave their corporate beef out of it!!
i definitely feel for you, must be stressful! But it is completely your decision- the other dr.s with MBC are very qualified as well, and you already know dr Lopez is- the truth is you can't go wrong! If it were me I'd have a preference for Lopez since that's who I chose- but in the end I'd probably go with whoever made things easiest for me and/or cut me the better deal. I mean hey- I'm a business woman too ;)
dont stress girl, it'll be just fine and before you know it this will all be in the past!!

Omg have you heard of all the drama with Dr. Lopez. He has left MBC and it's one big mess. I'm getting emails from him and MBC is sending me emails asking me to pick a new doctor.. Why didn't I schedule my surgery on last month with yours this would be a mute issue. 👹
Hi. Has anyone had surgery with Dr Valenzuela? I can't seem to find many reviews for her.

My husband and I are scheduled for March 9 with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I have several friends that have gone through him and said it was like going to a spa retreat! He has also done interviews on the today show, Oprah, and local stations. Wishing you good luck!
I would never go to Dr A with my personal research. Make sure you go in depth in your research. I'm going with Dr. Kelly in March.
Hello Everyone, I am researching Gastric Plication if anyone can share or suggest where to look into this procedure and where? thanks
it is so new,there is not going to be many places to research it.
I,personally,would not have it for the following reasons:
the extra stomach is folded over and stapled to itself,instead of being completely removed. This seems,to. Me, like a prime opportunity for the tissue to die and cause wicked problems down the road.
the plicated,( folded over) stomach still produces the. Hormone ghrelin,the hunger hormone. That mean you are going to still be as hungry as you are right now,but with a very small stomach that can't hold much. Sounds like agony tome.
Good luck in your decision making.
heading to mx for vsg on feb 10th at Florence hospital. Starting my 5 day pre op today! Anyone else going to be there at that time? Would be nice to meet someone there as I am heading down alone (yikes!)
HOw can i get ahold of Dr. Kelly, and where is Dr. Kelly located? i'm researching this for my husband to get the Gastric Plication or Sleeve.
Thanks
