Hi, EC, congratuations on your upcoming banding! Wow, that's Wednesday!! We have several Dr. Ponce' patients. I'm sure they'll respond soon. Have you tried doing a "search" (at the top of the page) for his name? I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck. How much weight would you like to lose?

I had Surgery on the 10th and I think Dr. Ponce is wonderful. I am already down 10 lbs. and really feel very good. Best of Luck!

I had surgery with Dr. Ponce in September and although my weight loss has been slow, I have been very pleased. I feel like I have made some really good changes and that the weight will never come back. I loved Dr. Ponce and his staff. They are very friendly and knowledgable and are very easy to get in touch with if you need something. Good luck. You're gonna be so glad you did this.

My wife had surgery on July 14, 2003. He has been wonderful in seeing to the needs of my wife. His staff is also very helpful. I enjoy going to the support group meetings myself! Keep us posted on your progress!!!!!

How is your wife doing now? When I come for my fill, I am planning on coordinating my trip so I can attend a support meeting. Which group do you go to? Isn't there more than one?

You know, my husband has felt that there is not enough support for the spouses..i.e., what to expect after surgery. I am two weeks post op and was very moody once I got home. A lot of it had to do with the stress of two children, 2 and 6, each with the throw up bug during Spring Break!

Other aspects of it had to do with not having time to myself to adjust, and being in pain and not being able to explain it to him.

How long did it take for your wife to really recover? I fell good, but I am not 100%.

Take Care, Eliza

Our group meeting is tomorrow night. My wife took a little while to get back to 100 % but now she is doing great! Maybe we will see you there!

      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'. ???

        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!
