Hi, EC, congratuations on your upcoming banding! Wow, that's Wednesday!! We have several Dr. Ponce' patients. I'm sure they'll respond soon. Have you tried doing a "search" (at the top of the page) for his name? I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck. How much weight would you like to lose?

I had Surgery on the 10th and I think Dr. Ponce is wonderful. I am already down 10 lbs. and really feel very good. Best of Luck!

I had surgery with Dr. Ponce in September and although my weight loss has been slow, I have been very pleased. I feel like I have made some really good changes and that the weight will never come back. I loved Dr. Ponce and his staff. They are very friendly and knowledgable and are very easy to get in touch with if you need something. Good luck. You're gonna be so glad you did this.

My wife had surgery on July 14, 2003. He has been wonderful in seeing to the needs of my wife. His staff is also very helpful. I enjoy going to the support group meetings myself! Keep us posted on your progress!!!!!

How is your wife doing now? When I come for my fill, I am planning on coordinating my trip so I can attend a support meeting. Which group do you go to? Isn't there more than one?

You know, my husband has felt that there is not enough support for the spouses..i.e., what to expect after surgery. I am two weeks post op and was very moody once I got home. A lot of it had to do with the stress of two children, 2 and 6, each with the throw up bug during Spring Break!

Other aspects of it had to do with not having time to myself to adjust, and being in pain and not being able to explain it to him.

How long did it take for your wife to really recover? I fell good, but I am not 100%.

Take Care, Eliza

Our group meeting is tomorrow night. My wife took a little while to get back to 100 % but now she is doing great! Maybe we will see you there!

      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... :(
