thin soon

Im in San Diego and I'm going to be sleeve July 23 by Dr. Ponce in MX

For Dr. Ponce go to the WLS site and talk to Trish. She is fantastic. I have her phone number if you would rather call. She lives in MX and deals directly with Dr. Ponce. I am having the sleeve done in July with Dr. Ponce and like the person said earlier Dr Ponce taught a lot of the doctors. I met him and he does not speak much english but his team does and Trish is with you every step of the way and will interpret. I am having surgery at INT and Trish took me to meet the doctor and see the hospital. It is small but very clean and the nurses were very nice.I'm lucky that I live in SD so I could check things out personally first. Any questions just ask

opps I keep posting things twice...sorry..lol

Im going to Dr. Ponce in July. Trish with WLS is his coordinator and is so helpful. She is one reason why I am going to him. She lives in MX, speaks great english and is there when you have your surgery. She isn't just someone who you talk to on the phone. When I was doing my research I found out some of the coordinators never had met the doctors they were pushing. Dr Ponce is a well known and respected gastric surgeon. I am having my surgery done at the INT hospital. I didn't want a clinic. Any questions feel free to ask.

You look fantastic!

Oh My Gosh!! I can't wait for July to get here so I can start on my journey to look slim like you. Great job!

I too am going to Dr. Ponce in July. I live in San Diego and I have done my research and have been to the INT hospital, met Dr. Ponce, his team and Trish and feel very comfortable. Trish is great. She is a coordinator for Dr. Ponce and lives in MX. She knows the doctors, she knows the hospitals first hand. She is not just a coordinator answering phones, she knows the hospital staff, the doctors, restaurants, she speaks english and spanish. Dr. Ponce is well known and respected by his colleagues. He is the one the doctors go to for gastric surgery. He is also the doctor you want operating on you if you do have complications. I will keep you updated. If I can answer any questions for you, I'll do my best.

I am so impressed with Dr. Ponce and his team and want others to hear and know about him. I have volunteered to help answer any questions and coordinate travel plans and surgery plans for any patients outside the US. My surgery will be in August at the INT Hospital. Why am I so excited....I live in San Diego and was very concerned about safety and surgery in Mexico so I met with Trish and have visited the hospitals and met the team of doctors several times now. I am lucky to live so close that I could do this. I have to tell you all my fears regarding my safety and surgery are gone. The fact that Trish lives in MX and personally knows the doctors is wonderful. No one asked me to do this...I am just excited about my upcoming surgery and during a visit a international patient mentioned they would of liked to have someone like me to talk to. So here I am if you need me. I will keep you updated on my surgery. I am going to MX for surgery because my insurance does not cover gastric sleeve surgery. Good Luck Thin Soon!!

Glad to hear your pulse is up. Keep the fluids going. The protein will help you feel better. Just curious what hospital did you have your surgery at and did you like Dr. Garcia and his staff? I have heard of him and have heard good things. Did you have surgery in Tijuana?

My prayers are with you. I know it must be exciting and scary at the same time but you will do great. Keep us posted.

Good Luck can't wait to hear about your surgery

I agree she is wonderful. Keep us posted on your weight loss. I can't wait to have mine done!

Great to hear you have started your journey to a new life. My appointment is in August with Dr. Ponce. Did Trish help you? She is great. She helped me with dental services in MX (I have been there 3x's in the last month)so I have been very fortunate to meet her before my surgery. She took me to see INT and to meet Dr. Ponce. I feel great with my choice and would be happy to put anyone who is going to MX for surgery with Dr. Ponce mind at ease.

Hi, I am a newbie...I was wondering how did it go Oahu? I too had heard things about Dr. Almanza and the his clinic that were not impressive. I would really appreciate hearing your story and how you felt about his clinic and the recovery house. I am looking to have bypass sleeve surgery in aug. It seems like most people don't write about the negative experiences so it is hard to know the truth.
