Hi everyone! I'm booked for march 27th with dr Ponce at hospital int. last night I started freaking out about what could go wrong afterwards. I had this opportunity 6 yrs ago and backed out.

Has anyone used dr Ponce? I found him through the Mexico Bariatric Center. So excited for my new life to start but also scared to death!! I have two small children at home.

Hello all. I had my surgery on March 11 by Dr. Illan with Baja Bariatrics at

Florence Hospital. Everything has gone very well and I have minimal discomfort. Ice chips are going down without a problem. This has been a great experience so far. I would gladly answer questions if you have any. Good luck to all of you.

A lighter me any opinions on them? Im thinking of getting a gastric sleeve done throught them. Also I'm in the phoenix area if anybody in the area wants to travel together to do this.

It's only 4400 dollars and everything is included. Im liking the price but I love my life so is it worth it?

      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.
