I'm still in TJ, I had my VSG single incision on yesterday with Dr. Lopez. First I want to say Dr Lopez and his team were the best. From my pick up at the airport by Frank to Myju meeting me at the hotel and Sandra meeting me the day of my surgery to go over all details than again after my surgery. Dr. Lopez was very attentive, he met with me before the surgery, the next day after the surgery and visiting me once again at VIDA Boutique to check on me again.
All of his doctors on his team from Dr Ortiz - Dr Sanchez -Dr. AnaKaren and a his entire crew of physician and nurses were top notch, each one spoke very good English and were very skilled and knowledgable in this procedure.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the beautiful VIDA center, this building is like a 4 star hospital/hotel. While I was in surgery my husband stayed here on the 2nd floor while I was on the 4th floor. He felt so much better being close to me. I had to stay in the hospital over night but he was able to visit with me directly after the surgery, before he came back down to our room. I joined him the next day at the VIDA boutique. He has been bragging all day how they catered to him and how good the food was here at VIDA just like he was the patient.
I am so excited I chose Dr. Lopez and the VIDA center to have my surgery. If you are afraid to go to Mexico to have weight loss surgery don't be, take it from me a girl from the south I would recommend my Dr Lopez and VIDA to anyone.
I'm so glad you're doing well and enjoying your stay! Welcome to the losers bench!
Good to hear your surgery went so well AND that you got the hubby to go with you to see 50 Shades 😊
Hi everyone, I'm here in TJ and every thing was excellent Dr Lopez and his team Frank, Sandra,Anakaren. And Myju is the bomb. I had my surgery on yesterday at the beautiful VIDA hospital and it was top notch.. The recover boutique is the equivalent of a 4 star hotel. I have had little to no pain, but I did have dry heaving after the surgery. That hurt ... It was like I was throwing up foam..I will also say sticking to my pre-op diet helped me stay disciplined. I was with my husband and he ate the best food while he was here..I wanted some so bad but being on the pre-op kind of disciplined me.. We did a lot of shopping, we went to the movies to see 50 shades of gray, and we enjoyed walking around the city. I felt very safe and I will be back after I have loss my weight for plastic surgery.. I will tell any and every body who wants to hear me...Going with Dr Lopez is the best decision I have ever made I just wish I would have did it years ago. I'll be back in 1year to have my plastic surgery at VIDA.. I wish you all well.. Let me know if you have any questions.
Honestly, my husband works out of the country (WAY out...) and we use the new facebook messenger to make phone calls. It sounds like he's sitting right beside me... never had a problem with it. If you have an internet connection and a mic on your tablet/device, you should be able to use it for free. It's just audio (not video like facetime or Skype can be...) but because of where he is, we find FB messenger to actually be a clearer call. I'll be heading to Tijuana in 2 weeks (oh my goodness), and I think we'll just use that.
Hey there, thinking of you!!! Hope you enjoyed VIDA and are feeling well!!
Whichever you chose ... You are in great hands!
I was sleeved by Dr. Ramos Kelly ... 5 weeks ago today! I had a fantastic experience! I was lucky enough to have gone to Angeles before the crazy price increase but I would have been comfy wherever, as long as he was the surgeon!

Dr. Ramos Kelly .... Jan.13, 2015
Hello, I am looking to go with Dr Kelly to and hoping to go in March. I filled out the contact card on Dr Kelly's web site and received a call back from Heath on Sunday, very nice guy. I was advised the following (see below). (Dr Kelly will no longer be doing surgery at Mi Doctor)
I am looking to find out if anyone will be going to any of the new places he now will be doing the surgery at as I can't find much info on these places when I do searches.
Dr. Kelly performs surgery out of 3 locations. The first 2 are full service hospitals and Clinica San Juan is a surgical center.
1. Angeles Hospital. The sleeve costs $7400 + $278.41 for medical tourism insurance
2. Hospital Del Prado. www.hospitaldelprado.com The sleeve costs $5900 + $278.41 for medical tourism insurance
3. Clinica San Juan. http://www.clinicasanjuan.com.mx The sleeve costs $4700 + $200.10 for medical tourism insurance
Dr. Kelly has all patients stay 2 days at each place before they go to the hotel for up to 2 additional days.
Hello, I am thinking about getting sleeved with Dr Ramos Kelly in March and wondering if anyone has had or going to have the surgery in any of the 2 new locations as he will no longer be doing surgery in Mi Doctor Hospital and the price has gone up to $7400 for him to do surgery at Angeles Hospital. Is anyone going with Dr Kelly and going to have surgery at any of his 2 new location of Hospital Del Prado or Clinica San Juan?
Prayers for you! How did everything go? I'm very anxious to hear how you're doing.
