You look amazing!

The pics are great! Thanks for sharing Glad you are doing so well!

I am about to hit the send button to book my flights for Mex in December. Having surgery with Dr.Ponce and although I have been actively doing my research , I would like to be EXTRA confident and sure. So how do we verify their actual lisence and verify that they are an actual bariatric surgeon?

Nice! I've been so reluctant to purchase one, but I am definitely going to now.

@ kansasgirl never mind, I found it!

Thanks! I am nervous and excited! I have read that you shared your experience o.,youtube. Can you pls send me the link or the name I can find it under?

I'm going with Dr. Ponce in December!

I don't mind when working out but just standing around? Ugh I hate it! I can only imagine how bad I am going to be come menopause

I haven't had surgery yet, but it is all I think about!! I find myself always wondering what changes (besides weight) will happen post op. I find that I am ALWAYS hot and sweaty (especially in the face)...I am hoping with the weightloss, sweatloss will come hand in hand. Pleeeeeaaasssee someone say yes! Lol

I have been checking this site all day waiting to hear from you. Glad you are feeling better! Sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks everyone! I feel like I have been talking to sooo many people (who have been great). I love that everyone here is really happy with their docs! but hate that it's also what has made my decision harder lol. I think I am leaning towards Dr. Ponce. I can't have it done until Dec., because of school but I am REALLY looking forward to it!

That's Awesome! I'm not going down until December (only time I have off from school) I so wish it was next month!

Yay! I've been thinking about you! Excited for you and wishing you the best!! Keep us posted

Oops I meant food!

That's great! How are you doing with the transition? Are you able to tolerate good yet?

I am sure I will tell more people (especially my family) after it's done. That way they will just have to accept me and my smaller stomach I am just keeping quiet before hand so that I can make my own decision without everyone chiming in...

Glad that your surgery went well!!

I am 5'8 @238 lbs...my bmi is 36. I want to have the surgery done in Dec. I would like to about 70lbs. I wondered the same thing. I go back and 4th with feeling guilty since I have less than 100lbs to lose but then I remind myself I have been trying to lose this weight on my own for years now. I have mastered losing some and re-gaining more :/ I haven't told anyone besides my husband, mother, & sister. I am just not in the mood to hear any negativity about or opionions on how they think I should lose it. I am also going to have to self pay so I am going to Mexico (i really dont want to hear my family and/or friends opinions on that either). I am really nervous tho.

I am happy your surgery went well! How long ago was your surgery?

I actually just watched it...definitely made me like him more.

Thanks! Glad you both were able to make a decision. I am and have been researching...I am just to skeptical I guess. I went from trying to decide between 5 docs to 3 & have now narrowed it down to Dr. Ponce and Dr. Garcia. I guess I am just afraid to make the wrong decision. Ughhhh
