Hi there,

I had surgery with Dr Ponce on Feb 14, I was amazed how smoothly everything went. My total time for surgery ended up less than an hour for the gastric sleeve. From the information I was able to gather he's been a surgeon for the last 19 years. I worked with Trish his coordinator and everything was great. You can contact me anytime if you want more information, I was so glad I choose him, everything went as expected not tooo much pain (oh there is going to be pain) I didn't use INT hospital but I was given a tour and they have great faculties- only difference I could tell was the bed for your partner/husband etc is smaller at INT but that's really no big deal. Trish held my hand from the moment I got to TJ until I left, she took me shopping visited everyday at the hospital and hotel. She even brought my aunt coffee every morning!! and offered to take me the beach- I declined I didn't want to be in the car that long yet.

Make sure to contact me if you would like to talk or have any questions I'll be happy to answer anything!!

I had my surgery Oct.14 with Dr. Ponce and he and his whole team are great! I was at the INT hospital and it was great as well. I just got back yesterday from going with a friend who just had the surgery with Dr. Ponce. She went thru Trish and the level of care Trish gives is beyond wonderful!! I wish Trish had been coordinating for Dr. Ponce when I had my surgery. She even brought me dinner to the hospital. Her assistant called my friend today to check on her and to answer any questions and will be calling weekly!! She also got a video of her surgery! I would not even consider another doctor. There are several bariatric doctors in Mexico who had the surgery. Guess who they chose?? Dr. Ponce!!! I would also be happy to answer any questions! Oknev@Aol.com

Yes, great! I can give you Trish's cell number if you want. Give my name so she knows. I don't get anything just trying to spread the word!

From my understanding Dr Ponce has just as much if not more experience as the main surgeons in Tijuana. The only difference is that his english is not as great but his team and Trish are there for you at all times. If you want your experience to be smooth sailing and a quik recovery I would choose Dr Ponce all over again and again and again. Good luck and God Bless your decision.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
