Dr. Ponce De Leon



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??

      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!
