Anyone here with experience with Dr. Ponce an his coordinators and hospital, etc.....can you share?and how much you paid? Ty!!

Marie, I am scheduled for surgery this Friday coming with Dr. Ponce.. My coordinator is Debra from http://weightnomoreconsulting.com/ and let me tell you she is AWESOME! i am paying $5500 in total. Everytime i had a question or a concern i would call her and she would be very helpful every. single. time. Many people say great things about Trish who is another coordinator that Dr. Ponce uses but she never responded as fast as i would've liked so i went with Debra instead.

sorry it took me so long to get back on here i have been laying low for the last few days since being home. My experience went well im home and feeling better everyday. The hospital staff were great and everything was very clean over all a good experience! The one thing I will say though... I cant remember who you said you were using as a coordinator but having Trish there was priceless !!! She helps with any communicating that you need done, she gets you anything you need she takes you out and she even on more then one occasion brought my boyfriend dinner. You really cant believe how much it makes a difference to have your coordinator there! Plus the hotel has a deal with them and she makes sure you are well taken care of!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
