my experience with Dr ponce de leon was fantastic. I was there almost 3 weeks ago. I was at the INT hospital which has fantastic staff and is very clean. Dr Ponce himself is fantastic, he doesn't speak english very well so he always has an interpreter with him. He was there before and several times after surgery to check on me and to make sure that everything was ok. I stayed at the Lucerna Hotel and it was really nice as well. The hotel staff is aware of your needs after surgery and you get broth and popsicles at no charge. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hi there! I had my surgery with Dr Ponce on May 10th, and everything went wonderful! Even though like it was mentioned, he doesn't speak much English, he was still very kind and patient. I was a bundle of nerves on the morning I had my surgery, and both he and Trish reassured me that everything was going to be fine. They were absolutely right on :) Some of the nurses don't speak a whole lot of English either, but they understand when you are in pain or feeling nauseated, and are very quick to respond to anything that you may need. I'd reccommend him to anyone! :D

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ponce and his staff. I did a lot of research before choosing him and I am glad I did! I have my journey including surgery on YouTube if you want to watch it, it might help you seeing him in action. My coordinator was Trish and she was wonderful also. If you go with him you won't regret it, people I talked to there said he is the best in Tijuana!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
