Dr. Ponce De Leon



Recommended Posts

I wonder, why don't I hear more about dr. Ponce de leon? I know he taught drs like Kelly, Almanza and Garcia, which is awesome! He also sleeved Almanza, as I understand it.

I have a very smart friend who used to be active here. She says she's very happy and that she wouldn't go to anyone other than Dr. Ponce dr Leon. I've seen videos of him at work and of the actual inside view of surgery and I'm very impressed.

I've talked to a couple members here who've gone to him and are happy.

I think right now price has something to do with it, there are other surgeons who are cheaper so they're the more popular picks. Also as was said on the other thread, the fact that he doesn't speak much english is probably a factor for some people. I'm very satisfied with my surgery experience with Dr Ponce.< /p>

I think you're probably right. Ultimately I chose Dr. Lopez because I felt quality of care was equal. There is an $800 difference in price. That matters for me. My family and I are on a tight budget, like most Americans, so I researched a lot to find a balance. Quality and cost efficient. I believe I did.

      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?
