Recommended Posts

I Just wanted to let anyone know who is booking surgery with dr. Ponce de leon and his wonderful crew, that i had a great experience there. the hospital is clean the staff is fantastic. the guest house that you will stay at after surgery is beautiful and the lady who runs it even more beautiful. if you are booking surgery or thinking about it please private msg me and i will help you and give the ins and outs.

and just to WARN you there is people out there that will use the surgeons name and try to scam you so please make sure you do your research and book through the right people.

I agree, I had surgery with Dr Ponce at the INT hospital on Dec 14. I also had a great experience. You may private message me also. I feel great and am down 30 pounds, but that includes the 5 day pre-op diet. My 2 sisters also went and had surgery. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the diet afterwards. I am using a diet from another doctor.

I am doing good. I struggled with the diet that they gave us, and chose to use one from another doctor. I am still only eating Protein Shakes, SF pudding, light yogurt, chicken broth, popsicles, and strained cream of chicken Soup. I think I am going to try mashed potatoes tomorrow. How are you doing? how is your diet going? did you use the one he gave us? how was your trip home? we were lucky to have an extra day at the recovery house which helped. I am not as tired as I read that some people were. that part scared me. I actually felt energetic and good. Not tired and lethargic like I thought I would. how about you??

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
