Hi, I am having VSG surgery on December 10th! I am waiting until this semester of college is over. I am excited and scared at the same time! Has anyone had surgery with this doctor and could you please share your experience!

Hi, I have all good things about Dr. Ponce DeLeon. His going to do my surgery also. I am scheduled for Nov 10 and would love to do it sooner. If I can't do it in November the next avail date will be in December maybe around the 10 so maybe I will see you than...at least at the Recovery House.

4 days away from my 1 year anniversary...doing well and feel great! Down a total of 92 lbs with absolutely no problems, except if I take that one bite too many...then I feel awful and have to vomit. You will quickly learn when to quit! lol

Nothing like driving down the road and having to tell your husband to pull over now! Would I do it again? Absolutely!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Yay, Julie, you are doing so good! I know when I hiccup, it is time to stop or bad things are going to happen, lol. The funny thing is, the dogs have learned that sound and get really excited because they know I am done eating and they get the leftovers!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
