Anyone here with experience with Dr. Ponce an his coordinators and hospital, etc.....can you share?and how much you paid? Ty!!

Marie, I am scheduled for surgery this Friday coming with Dr. Ponce.. My coordinator is Debra from http://weightnomoreconsulting.com/ and let me tell you she is AWESOME! i am paying $5500 in total. Everytime i had a question or a concern i would call her and she would be very helpful every. single. time. Many people say great things about Trish who is another coordinator that Dr. Ponce uses but she never responded as fast as i would've liked so i went with Debra instead.

sorry it took me so long to get back on here i have been laying low for the last few days since being home. My experience went well im home and feeling better everyday. The hospital staff were great and everything was very clean over all a good experience! The one thing I will say though... I cant remember who you said you were using as a coordinator but having Trish there was priceless !!! She helps with any communicating that you need done, she gets you anything you need she takes you out and she even on more then one occasion brought my boyfriend dinner. You really cant believe how much it makes a difference to have your coordinator there! Plus the hotel has a deal with them and she makes sure you are well taken care of!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
