    Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon -

  3. Hello I am having surgery with dr. Ponce de leon on Oct 18th. I am always looking for information as well. I have hear good things about all of the Dr's. Good Luck! K
  4. Great Job! Keep up the good work!
  5. Here is the information on the POSE procedure POSE (Primary Obesity Surgery, Endoluminal) Procedure in Louisiana Bariatric surgeons at The Surgical Specialists of Louisiana have become one of the first teams in the U.S. to perform a new incisionless weight loss procedure called the POSE (Primary Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal) to decrease the capacity of a patient's stomach. The Surgical Specialists of Louisiana is one of the first three sites in the United States to make it available. The POSE procedure is performed under anesthesia using a small flexible endoscope ? a video camera so that the surgeon can view the operative site on a nearby video monitor ? and a four-channel tube created specifically for incisionless procedures. The POSE is performed entirely through the mouth without making any external incisions into the body. The surgeon inserts the flexible tube and the endoscope through the patient?s mouth and then uses surgical tools to grasp the stomach tissue and deploy suture anchors to create multiple tissue folds in the stomach wall to reduce its volume capacity. We are one of a few select sites in the country participating in a clinical Data Registry that will follow patients who undergo the incisionless POSE procedure. If you are interested in joining the registry to see if you may qualify for this procedure, please contact us today:thumbup1:
  6. Hi thanks!! Doing good now :))

  7. Does anyone have a list of things they are planning on bringing with them to the hospital? I am trying to keep things to a minimum because of the all of the costs associated with extra bags. I hope I can avoid bringing my winter coat =) Hey you never no what the weather is going to be like here!

    Introducing Myself:)

    I am scheduled with him October 18th at VIDA hospital. I am very excited. Please keep in touch!:thumbup:
  9. Look up the POSE procedure. It is done through your stomach from the inside. I think there is a place in Louisana that does it. It is like the vertical sleeve plication from the inside.
  10. I am having the vertical sleeve plication on Oct 18th with Dr. Jaime Ponce de Leon. Anyone want to be sleeve buddies???
  11. I am having surgery on the 18th in TJ. Who is your DR? It is such a relief to finally be on the road to good health!
