I am less than 24 hours out and so happy I got it done finally. I will tell you, the gas pain is really bad but no worst than any other abdominal surgery. I still have not had anything to drink so I am really thirsty but feel fine.

The staff here at INT is great and so sweet. I will write more on how my trip is when I get to my hotel room but just wanted people to know that my doctor Jaime Ponce De Leon is a very good and caring doctor. I was worried that there wasn't any info on him but I see why now. He doesn't do it for just the money. He does community service ppl don't know about. He even helped ppl unable to pay. A real classy type of dude that I thank so much.

Congrats! Woo hoo!

Congrats! I hope you are feeling better!

Congratulations!! You must be excited to have the surgery behind you! Good luck with your weight loss journey!

Congrats! So happy for you!

Yes I am feeling great. Even walked up and down 2 flights of stairs with no problem. But I am soooo ready to get out of this hospital! I really do believe this could be a outpatient procedure for some ppl like myself. Other than a few hours of gas pain, I did well. But no matter what anyone says, I am leaving tomorrow for hotel room. I hate hospitals and feel they should only be used when necessary.

Ms. Lady!!! WOW....I'm so excited I found you. I'm going to dr. Ponce de leon on the 29th of this month. I just booked by flight. I can't tell you how excited I am to finally find someone who has been to him. I did as much research as I could and finally just decided to trust my gut and go with him. I hear he teaches bariatric surgery and that he is very good at what he does. I just spoke with Tommy his coordinator and he said the same thing, Dr. Ponce is more interested in helping others and teaching the medical community than making mad money. That's why he is so reasonably priced. Anything you can offer by way of your experience I'd love to hear about. Best of the Best for you Ms. Lady. Bravo to you!

Oh please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

Awesome and everyday you will feel a little better each day..
