    Although I would never consider this surgeon, calling someone an idiot because they chose him is totally inappropriate. People have their own reasons on deciding on a surgeon. There are so many variables when choosing a surgeon and unfortunately some are more interested in price as they overlook the red warning flags.
    BTW, there are excellent surgeons in the US who do 10 surgeries per day, But they have strict protocols and are at a Center of Excellence.

    My surgery was January 12, 2013 and at first I was going to use Almanza. But thankfully my husband who is fluent in Spanish did some research on some Mexican websites and we both started having issue with Almanza. We did about 3 months of research and I had my surgery with a different doctor. I could not be happier with my experience from the minute I was picked up at San Diego airport.

    I think just because a surgeon is featured on a website that doesn't make him better than others. I always suggest do your research and TALK to people who have already had their surgeries with the surgeon you are considering.

    Good luck,
    Stacy

    I share your beliefs, there's a lot of people around here posting bad things about surgeons in TJ, they don't even know the doctors, as for me, I love to tell my story of success, and even though I also did my research, It doesn't mean I had the best surgeon in earth (I do think so.. lol) I can speak about my experience, but I would not throw another person's reputation down in the trash just to make Dr. j Lopez (my doctor) famous, it went great for me, and that's the way I wish it goes for everyone no matter what doctor they use, but I do suggest to do your research.. I also used Bariatric Pal.
