Jaime Ponce Deleon was super great! His whole staff takes really good care of you!

I'm also two weeks out and really enjoyed food every aspect but I know I will be able to eat again just in moderation, this journey is teaching me a lot of healthier choices, there's really good healthy food hang in there it will get better.

I hadn't had a period for three months then bam, day of surgery! Actually started on my plane ride lol was sleeved on the 26th of sept and still bleeding lightly!! I think it has a lot to do with rapid weight loss but I can live with that!

I'm home now girl!! So glad everything went good for you!! Long journey ahead!! Hard to get used to prayers are with u my friend!!

It was so nice to meet you no trouble at all!! Hope you have had your ice chips! We actually already left and were staying in San Diego over night and back to Texas in the morning be prepared that blue barium is the puts but necessary :/ I'm so glad we did this girl!! I want pics in 6 months lol good luck sweetheart

Had my surgery yesterday here in Tijuana Mexico. Dr Ponce Deleon is awesome!! The Doctors and nurses are all really good and quick to my bedside. Other than the gas pain I'm doing good, get to leave tomorrow

Thank u!! I hope you got my private message. Such a wonderful experience other than the gas pains but those are become more minimal as I'm walking quite a bit. Well worth it so glad the hard parts over with heck I think the liquid diets tge hardest part so far!! Many hugs and can't wait for u and everyone to join me

I'm at int myself right now had surgery yesterday afternoon, room 202 if you feel up to it I'd like to meet if your on my floor glad your ok, dr ponce is awesome

Weatherford Texas!!

Congrats newbie!! I'm preop and only having to do a 7 day liquid diet before the 26th, I tryed forcing myself away from the junk food, it's so hard to do!! It's all I've known for so long. This sleeve will def put a stop to it tho. Hang in there I've heard it gets much better with time, look how far you have come!! God bless from Texas

That's awesome!! I will be recovering by the time you get in I've heard really great things about Dr Ponce Deleon, I'm so excited!!

I pray God answers you and your families needs swiftly, I believe in the power of prayer whole heartidly. Never to proud to speak to God

Hi everyone!! Was needing some input, I'm applying for my passport this coming Wednesday and my surgery is set for September 26th, gives me 3 wks! My friend who has been to Mexico many times says I'll be fine crossing back into USA with just a birth certificate and drivers lic, what are your experiences or thoughts? Please and thank you!!

Int I'm fixing to start a new post so maybe u can help there as well .

Going also on the 26th to Dr Ponce Deleon. Tomorrow is the 2 week count down!!! Getting nervous and excited!!

Was just thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a dating website just for weight loss surgery patients and their admirers lol ya never know

I'm so happy for you!! When I hear of all these good things I almost want to cry tears of joy cause I completley understand! I will be sleeved on the 26th!! Prayers are with u!

At least they would be understanding to similar situation

@ ms Johnson for life I'm going to see dr ponce Deleon!! I'm so excited!! So ready to live again!! Find a man too lol!!

That's awesome to hear ms Johnson, do you have a date just yet?? I'm going sept 26th getting closer!!

I finally decided to not get the passport all together, If I were you and I know this really sucks (sorry) but I would get another certified copy of your birth certificate if your passport doesn't arrive say like a day or two before you leave for surgery. I was really uneasy about not having my passport at first until I've asked enough, my coordinator which is in the next town told me she would leave her passport at home and just bring her birth certificate to make me feel better about it good luck to u!!

Hi everyone!! I'm very new to this site so if I put anything in the wrong place I apologize, was wondering if anyone has experienced this doctor and also I'm needing advice on the presurgery diet, have not received instruction yet. Any advice will be much appreciated thank u and God bless!!

9/26/12 ready for life!!

I really hope it gets here in time!! Now I'm even more worried! I'd rather be safe than sorry!! Thanks

You are absolutely right!! It's what's right for you!! I have to tell myself that also!! My mother said "I think your nuts"!! That was it!! A couple friends are different about it but are they jealous to? Probably!! Sucks people can't just be happy for you!! It's not all bad here, I have a few that are very supportive but it comes down to getting healthy and living right!! I'm excited!! Sept 26th is my day!! No one will change my mind!! Good luck to you!!
