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?

      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!
