Help Finding Loved One In Mexico Who Went For Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Please help me find my family. Two family members went to have the vertical sleeve surgery with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. They arrived yesterday and we have not heard a single word from them or the patient cordinator. Who can we contact to find out what is going on??

Thank you both very much for your help! 28 hours after arrival in Mexico, their patient cordinator FINALLY called us back after numerous phone calls and emails to her. She stated she had phone issues. Really?? Does the hospital not have phones?? Or how about the hotel she was staying in?? UGH! This ordeal was very nerve racking!! So scared for my family members for awhile.

FYI~ I did some research on here before posting this issue and came across Trish's information and that she also worked with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. I did try to contact her at the number and it went to a message stating that the voicemail for this number has not been set up yet.

Trish was not my family's patient cordinator. I am also going to have the vertical sleeve surgery in a few months, and I will never again use our patient cordinator due to her lack of communication skills!

Hi,

I NEVER had any of these problems because I went to Dr. Aceves. I highly suggest you look into seeing Dr. Aceves. Nina is his patient coordinator and she ALWAYS has great communiction.

I am so sorry you had this kind of stress. That is unthinkable!

Hugs,

Suzanne

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
