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??

      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?

      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.
