Surgery W/ Dr. Ponce Excitement Vs Studying!



Recommended Posts

I need to study for my finals, still have to left but I cannot stop thinking about my upcoming surgery Thursday! I wish I could just stop thinking about it and concentrate in this last two finals! Then all of this stress is making me want to eat! I thankfully do not have a long liquid diet (only three days) but I have not been watching what I am eating very much today and it was supposed to be my first day. I guess since I am lower BMI and I am not eating things that greatly increase liver size I don't worry as much, but I should be following directions and I am not! Which makes me want to eat more. I really need to figure out what I am going to do about this emotional eating, soon! My surgery is in less than 3 days! Sorry for all the mumbling.

Good luck on your date with the doctor Texas!!! I can't keep my mind on work either! I have 20+ days till surgery and I can only imagine what I'll be with only 3 days left like you!!!

Thanks! My surgeon is actually in Mexico, dr. Ponce de leon, he actually taught Dr. Almanza (I see he is going to be your surgeon) how to do the sleeve and I believe he also did Dr. Almanzas sleeve. The twenty days will pass by really fast! I booked mine about 45 days ago and it all went very fast except for the last week!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
