Kori! I am flying out on the 27th from Seattle on Alaska Airlines - my email is euglove@gmail.com

Hi everyone! I'm booked for march 27th with dr Ponce at hospital int. last night I started freaking out about what could go wrong afterwards. I had this opportunity 6 yrs ago and backed out.

Has anyone used dr ponce? I found him through the Mexico Bariatric Center. So excited for my new life to start but also scared to death!! I have two small children at home.

I will be there on the 29th.......... I am super nervous!!!

Scheduled for March 31st with Dr. Elias Ortiz at Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ. Already nervous...never had any type of surgery before. Starting to get ready for pre-op diet.


Any one else there at this time?


I will be there around that time my surgery is on the 28th. Im so nervous also but so excited at the same time! How many weeks are you on pre-op diet?

Hello all. I had my surgery on March 11 by Dr. Illan with Baja Bariatrics at

Florence Hospital. Everything has gone very well and I have minimal discomfort. Ice chips are going down without a problem. This has been a great experience so far. I would gladly answer questions if you have any. Good luck to all of you.

Date: March 10th, 2014

Surgeon: Dr. Almanza

Facility: Jerusalem Hospital, Tijuana Mexico

Just wanted to check up on you to see how surgery went and how you are doing?

Hi everyone! Looks like our group is doing well and having good experiences! :) I'm so happy for all of you!!!

I'm pleased to say I am down 14 pounds after 12 days. Woohoo! I put away my size 16's and am donating them this weekend.

A lighter me any opinions on them? Im thinking of getting a gastric sleeve done throught them. Also I'm in the phoenix area if anybody in the area wants to travel together to do this.

It's only 4400 dollars and everything is included. Im liking the price but I love my life so is it worth it?
