Dr. Ponce De Leon And Trish



Recommended Posts

I've read repeatedly here that Trish answers everyone's emails almost immediately. I'm not experiencing the same. Now I know she's only human and she has a busy job, but I've gotten responses aprox 24 hours later, not prompt like others

I'm not considering this a negative experience, but wondered if anyone DID have a negative experience with Trish/ponce.

*********eta- I just now saw the thread about "all things Ponce de leon. " I'll go heck that out too.

When I first contacted Trish it was about a day before I heard back from her I contacted her through Facebook, and then she emailed me right away with the medical history forms and another form explaining everything. If you don't hear back try emailing again. Actually I think I just asked her a question on her facebook page first and then she facebook emailed me and then we went from there.

It would take a while for me to get replies too, and a few times she sent a reply but i didn't get it. You can always call her and tell her you sent her a mail. I'm still at the hospital here, but my experience has been great, surgery went awesome, Dr Ponce is very nice, the nurses are great...

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
