Dr Ponce charges $5500 and if you have a BMI of over 50 they add $500 ....

I have heard good about both those doc's too, the one thing that bothers me is the 2 hr drive down to mexicali from san diego, I would rather be closer to san diego. I have an appointment on Monday with my PCP so I am going to put a list of links together so he can see its gonna be a good thing, I just always worry about the first gut reaction of people when they hear you are going to mexico I want to back it up for him so he can go check it out himself. That being said I havn't told alot of people because I don't want to deal with alot of comments, I will tell people maybe when I get home lol

Thanks nursgirl, that is so exciting that you are so close to getting your surgery. My husband starts his new job in the next week or two sooo I probably wouldn't even qualify for a loan at the moment but I agree paying a crappy interest is worth your health so as soon as I can i will get it all together. I look forward to seeing and hearing all about your experience. I plan on doing the same I have also started a blog that as soon as I am sleeved I will make public

YES YES YES!!! thats exactly how I feel " Consuming all the info I can is a obsession of mine lately" my first exposure to Dr Ponce was on youtueb, I found two channel of women that have used him and then I just went through all the pots on the mexico board on obesityhelp.com and here, and I contacted Trish on her facebook page with all my questions. Earlier this week I found on here a link to a canadian news show that had Dr Ponce doing the surgery for a canadian lady that couldn't afford the surgery and that just kind of sealed the deal that he is who I want to do my surgery. I have found nothing but good about him. I hope you can find someone you are comfortable with too and feel like you can trust. Thanks for the good luck wishes I am gonna need them

Hi there, I am new here and thought I would finally say Hi after lurking for a few days I am going to be having surgery with dr Ponce whenever I can figure out the funding for the surgery I am so super excited I just can't get enough information about everything. The only worry I have is when I come home and taking care of my kids while my husband is at work, I have 3 in school and 2 at home and I have read alot about the whole energy drain that tends to happen after surgery. I am sure I will end up having some help but I still am nervous about it.
