Help Finding Loved One In Mexico Who Went For Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Please help me find my family. Two family members went to have the vertical sleeve surgery with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. They arrived yesterday and we have not heard a single word from them or the patient cordinator. Who can we contact to find out what is going on??

Thank you both very much for your help! 28 hours after arrival in Mexico, their patient cordinator FINALLY called us back after numerous phone calls and emails to her. She stated she had phone issues. Really?? Does the hospital not have phones?? Or how about the hotel she was staying in?? UGH! This ordeal was very nerve racking!! So scared for my family members for awhile.

FYI~ I did some research on here before posting this issue and came across Trish's information and that she also worked with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. I did try to contact her at the number and it went to a message stating that the voicemail for this number has not been set up yet.

Trish was not my family's patient cordinator. I am also going to have the vertical sleeve surgery in a few months, and I will never again use our patient cordinator due to her lack of communication skills!

Hi,

I NEVER had any of these problems because I went to Dr. Aceves. I highly suggest you look into seeing Dr. Aceves. Nina is his patient coordinator and she ALWAYS has great communiction.

I am so sorry you had this kind of stress. That is unthinkable!

Hugs,

Suzanne

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
