Limarp surgical center-dr. Pompa



Recommended Posts

So after a month of research from India to Mexico I finally found Dr. Pompa Gonzales. The price is good and the surgical center looks very nice. Please go to the You Tube link to see the facility. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSuhiAM6ATM]YouTube- Our State of the Art Facilities[/ame]

That's all I can tell you now until my surgery on Tuesday March 9th. I will update you while I am there.:001_tt2:

Hi... I just want to let you know that I just had my surgery yesterday by Dr. Pompa. She is wonderful. The entire staff here is amazing. It is very nice that all of them speak excellent to good english. My surgery went well. I was quite nauseated yesterday but am doing very well now. I am quite tender but getting around. The facility is fantastic and I highly recommend it. I will probably see you today in the clinic! All the best! :001_unsure:

I was sleeved on Monday, April 5th by Dr Pompa. She is fabulous, the clinic rivals any US surgicenter I have seen, the anesthesiologist is one of the best "bartenders" I have ever met :-), and the staff (who speak english) are wonderful. Gas pains sucked, but otherwise I was up and motoring around the day after surgery. Once the drain came out, you couldn't keep me down and the gas pains completely vanished. The swallow study tasted GROSS, but the clear liquid reward for doing it got me through. Being only one week out...I still don't know the true end "feeling", but I'm on my way.

Dr Pompa and her staff are very well trained, knowledgeable, competent, and very, very caring. I would highly recommend them to anyone. A special shout out to Dr Alex (she's great), the night nurse (sorry, I've lost his name in my crowded mind), and Irene...WONDERFUL!!!

Dr. Chrisian is the night doctor. He so very nice and talkative with each patient. I truly enjoyed my experience at Dr. Pompa's surgical centre. I had my sleeve on March 8th and I am doing very well. I have not had the drop in energy nor does it feel like I've missed a step since my surgery. I have lost 30.8 lbs since my surgery. I notice my clothes feeling different and already have dropped a couple sizes depending on the brand of clothes. This was a great decision and I look forward to the rest of the weight melting away. I still have another 60lbs to do but I know with my weight going down each day I am going to enjoy my summer! Cheers!

Hi!

I too am thinking of going to Dr Pompa in Sept. I just need to wait on my passport. Are you guys going with anyone? :)

I've done a lot of research on her, and she seems awesome. Even just by looking at her and the facility, I get a great feeling. I have to go with my gut on this one.. And lots of research! I'd love to save the grand or whatnot with the other doctor, but I have a peace of mind with her.

I've been dieting my whole life and am just over it. Having a baby put me over the edge. People think I AM CRAZYYYY. I can't tell my parents. They would have a heart attack. So, here I go into the unknown.... :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
