Drama. Drama. Who's Got The Drama?



Recommended Posts

I had heard that some coordinators were doing that to Dr Kelly but I hadn't heard about others. I don't think it's the surgeon's fault' date=' but of course you don't want to support or give money to a coordinator that uses such business tactics. I think whichever surgeon you choose will be fine ultimately, but I do understand where you're coming from. I was quite happy with Trish (for Dr Ponce) if that helps.[/quote']

Exactly the way I'm feeling. Such tactics can give excellent surgeons a negative image. A disservice more than anything... Also it muddy's the waters and scares off the "fence sitters".

Amen sisters. I'm glad to come across this post because I was having doubts and "doctor envy".

Listen!!! Dr. Ponce is a wonderful Dr. and is Chief of bariatric surgery in TJ Mexico, most likely taught all of the above Dr's mentioned above, since he has been doing WLS since 1995...go with your heart and go with Dr. Ponce!!! I just had my surgery Oct 22, and would do it again in a heart beat!! I know of 4 medical professionals including me who went to him and have absolutely no regrets, and no complications!!

I think from now on, if someone comes on the board here with negative comments OTHER than what they PERSONALLY experienced, we should NOT comment to fuel the fire ;)

Maybe they will just go away, lol!!

Just so you know, my thread heading was not an invitation for drama but a facetious vent about drama.

I agree! We've got enuff on our plates without adding that drama crap and fueling it.

I'm doing great since surgery Retakk, it's been an easy recovery for me. Going crazy on Clear Liquids and wish I could chew something, but I don't feel any hunger.

I keep thinking that I'm gonna die on the table in Mexico... When I had my csection, my Doctor told me to be sure and tell any other Doctor if I'm having a surgery that I'm a heavy bleeder... So now I think that I'm gonna die by internal bleeding or something. I'm freaking out lol

I totally understand your fears. Make sure you let them know you bleed heavily...

Just another thread stating Dr Garcia has had several fatalities per coordinators, I think? I chose Dr. Lopez, but I am not okay with all this drama. It is discouraging. Who knows what is fact and what are lies to redirect business?

I am also booked with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna. On another thread here though, I read that a patient got to TJ for her surgery and they had replaced Dr. Osuna with Dr. Garcia without notifying her before she got there! Just ask lots of questions to be prepared for whoever you do chose :)

      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!
