Dr.Verboonen in TJ



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Im new to all this. I have never posted before, but I have been reading and loging on since March. I have been researching the lapband and the only way I will be able to do afford it will be in Mexico. I am planing on seeing Dr.Sergio verboonen in TJ. I have not heard one negitive thing about him or his staff. Please let me know what the facts are. I need some reasurance. Thanks JoJo

I am also being banded by Dr.Verboonen and Dr. jaime Ponce de leon. My surgery date is Oct 3rd. There are some negative things that I've heard about him. Appearently he was involved and charged for insurance fraud.

At first,this made me a bit hesitant about going to him. But I don't think that fraud in this sense affects his ability to place the band correctly.

Im still going to continue with dr. verboonen.< /p>

This is the only negative thing I've ever heard about him. If u hear about anymore...please let me know.

Good Luck With Your Choice.

I am 99% sure I am going with Dr. verboonen. His coordinator gave me a couple of recent patients to talk to, and I was satisfied. Plus, he will do the newest model of the Lap Band if you want (but costs a little more). Dr Ceron's office only seems to do the older model.

Also hear Galenia hospital is spotless.

      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.
