Have you seen Dr John Coon in Riverside, CA



Recommended Posts

I saw Dr John Coon today in Riverside, CA. He is so thoughtful and really took time to answer my questions and assure my mother. She was so impressed that she is going to be a cash patient and have surgery as soon as she can get a date for surgery with Dr. Coon. My friend from work referred me to Dr Coon. I was first going to see him in Rancho Mirage but because of my insurance I went to Riverside that is actually closer to my home. Dr Coon has 3 offices in the Inland Empire. He not only answered my questioned and explained everything but he tells great jokes and is so kind. His staff was great and they are going to help me get my tests started so I can get approved by my insurance. Everyone was helpful and made me feel that I wasn't just another patient. Really glad I found DR COON:smile2:. Hope to hear from others that have seen Dr Coon.

Dr John Coon did my LapBand surgery the end of April. I have lost 24 pounds and I feel wonderful. I can eat almost anything but I haven't tried steak yet. People are starting to notice the difference and I am so thankful for Dr Coon. He has really helped me get started towards a healthier new life.

I know Dr John Coon has an office in Riverside by Parkview Community Hospital but I saw him at Rancho Specialty in Rancho Cucamonga. I was so impressed. Everyone was so nice. Dr Coon really explains everything and I love the way he always asks about my family and even remebered that my daughter had been sick at my last visit and asked about her. I feel very confident. I am trying to find a way to put a copy of an article I found on Dr Coon in M.D. Net a magazine I found at my PCP's office. The article really let's you know all about his experiened and what a great bariatric doctor Dr Coon is.

Anyone use Dr. Coon that can give me some great information on him? I had surgery already, but am switching doctors. I want someone reliable, honest, and readily available.

I am also interested in everyone's experience with Dr.Coon. I noticed that this post was started last year and I would like to know, now that you are all almost a year away from surgery, would you still recommend him? What was the follow up experience like?

      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.
