Dreikalina I've been to Dr. Ponce and he is a great Dr. in my mind, he has alot of recomendations and has done the band many times he's awsome. I had my first consultation with him and was sad to find out he wasn't in my network but one of his partners Dr. Fromm is going to do mine and he is also a great Dr.

O it went great I mean it took a while but I enjoyed talking to everyone who came in for adjustments, about how things were going with their band. Well all they make you do is weigh no socks or shoes! Pain in the butt lol. They get your height then you talk with the Dr. briefly and he will determine if your a candidate, then you'll watch a 30 min. video// speak with the lady about insurance and then your just setting and waiting to see what insurance is going to do, or what else they are going to have you do..

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
