I've been looking into using him also. Not a lot of info on him(?). I do have a friend of a friend that used him with no complications, great experience.

Yes, I also have a friend at work that did and she is doing we ll. I did some youtube research and also on the WLS fb page and a lot of praises, so I hope I made a good choice.

I am also connected to wls4abetterlife through Facebook. Watched a few you-tubes also. I'm trying to make my final decision today, I'm so overwhelmed in making the right decision! So many doctors/companies with so much information!

I agree. I'm scheduled for Oct 17th a little over a week. So excited, yet nervous.

Good luck! I'm hoping to be there that week too. I'm last minute booking but trying to work around my husbands schedule so he can go with me. Praying I can make the right decision!

I had surgery on 9/11 with dr. Ponce de leon. He is the most experienced of doctors who do the sleeve in TJ, and is called a super doctor! He was a little more expensive but I felt his experience was worth it. He does not speak English, but he works with a family practice physician who is fluent in English and actually had the surgery herself! I had a hiatal hernia that was discovered during the surgery and that was repaired also. I have had no complications post op and can highly recommend him to you!

Thank you, and yes, all the research I've done so far has been mostly all great things. I just didn't see him mentioned on this forum as much as the other docs. Trish has been absolutely wonderful as well.

I had surgery with Dr Ponce last year on November 8th, so I guess today is my 11 month anniversary. BEST DECISION EVER! :) Everything went well, and I'm down 130 pounds since surgery, 20 pounds to go to goal. From 303 pounds to 172 pounds, from a size 24-26 to a size 12. I'm ecstatic! :) I just make sure to get all my Protein in and I've been seeing a personal trainer for 6 months, I'm in the best shape of my life!

      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?
