Dr. Ponce De Leon & Trish



Recommended Posts

Where do I start... I am still in Tijuana at the hotel, i was sleeved monday night. Trish is my coordinator and I don't think there are enough words to express how sweet & caring she is. I went alone so having Trish there with me was a godsend.

Dr. Ponce is an excellent doctor with an awesome bedside manner. He doesn't speak english but Trish is there to translate and I had no problems with asking questions. I got a dvd of my surgery and my swallow test/xray. There should be more talk on these boards about Dr. Ponce, most people talk about Aceves, Garcia, & Kelly but I think Dr.Ponce should be right up there.

I was nervous of this journey but as soon as i met Trish in person and Dr. Ponce I knew I was in good hands. I write this as I sit in the beautiful Lucerna hotel in a king size bed with just a little pain, not much gas and am drinking liquids like a champ.

If someone I love or even just know casually asks me about my surgery there are in for an earful about how great Dr. Ponce and his team are.

Thank you Dr. Ponce and Trish for helping me change my life and being fantastic people who, when they are with you, you are there focus. I don't think I could have done this without Trish.

      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!
