Dr.Verboonen in TJ



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Im new to all this. I have never posted before, but I have been reading and loging on since March. I have been researching the lapband and the only way I will be able to do afford it will be in Mexico. I am planing on seeing Dr.Sergio verboonen in TJ. I have not heard one negitive thing about him or his staff. Please let me know what the facts are. I need some reasurance. Thanks JoJo

I am also being banded by Dr.Verboonen and Dr. jaime Ponce de leon. My surgery date is Oct 3rd. There are some negative things that I've heard about him. Appearently he was involved and charged for insurance fraud.

At first,this made me a bit hesitant about going to him. But I don't think that fraud in this sense affects his ability to place the band correctly.

Im still going to continue with dr. verboonen.< /p>

This is the only negative thing I've ever heard about him. If u hear about anymore...please let me know.

Good Luck With Your Choice.

I am 99% sure I am going with Dr. verboonen. His coordinator gave me a couple of recent patients to talk to, and I was satisfied. Plus, he will do the newest model of the Lap Band if you want (but costs a little more). Dr Ceron's office only seems to do the older model.

Also hear Galenia hospital is spotless.

      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.

      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! 😞
