Sounds like you are not ready to commit yet.

To the surgery? Committed. To a surgeon? Working on it.

I don't know anything about those surgeons, and I think it would be hard to choose long distance! It was so important to me to have a surgeon (and the practice) that "got it" beyond the surgery - I needed the long term support! Many say they offer it, but when I found the doc I went to, I knew this was what I was looking for.

Suggest thinking about your most important criteria and what it is you are really looking for... then you will know it when you find it!

I feel the same way. Committed to the surgery.. The patient coordinators with their own agendas are becoming a pain my a**. I think dr Lopez and dr Ponce both seem to be good. I'm sure you'll be fine choosing either one. I'm leaning on dr Lopez now in puerto Vallarta.

Amanda I am using Dr Ponce and I feel so confident in that decision. You should do it with him.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
