I'm doing great..I've lost 25lbs and feeling wonderful. I am eating just about anything with no problems. I still am tired a lot but it's got better since surgery. The only thing I wish is that I could drink more. I don't get enough water in but I am working on that daily. I can't wait to see the rest of the weight come off. How are you doing?

Hi there. Our surgery dates are similar how are you doing so far?

Thanks for all the well wishes..I really appreciate it...just for the update as soon as I woke up from surgery I felt horrible. I was dry heaving and had a lot of pain in my stomach from all the gas. Then I developed a fever from having secretions in my lungs from the surgery..since they pinpointed why I was having fever I have been put on all kinds of meds to fix the problem...as of now I woke up and feel 100% better...I hope I stay this way. Again, thanks for all the prays.. God bless you all..I am now on the sleeved side...:-)

Good Luck today! Positive thoughts and prayers for a beautiful sleeving and speedy recovery!

Praying all goes well on your surgery welcome to the sleeved side of life

Good luck on your surgery and a smooth recovery!!!!

How do we connect on FB. I don't know how to look you up

I don't think so. Mine is NOT Ponce de Leon. HA! Still I recommend my guy if you are remotely close!

Are we talking about the same dr ponce?

You asked about Dr Ponce......I can't say enough wonderful things about him and his practice. Are you near Chattanooga??? By far one of the most experienced in the field. You will love him!!

you can find me on FB...Valerie Solomon...would love to connect

I'm very nervous especially when it comes to choosing the right doctor...my aunt used Dr Aceves but he is 2x as much. I know he has done a lot of surgeries but still hesitant about not being in a real hospital.

Yes I am using Dr. Almanza I had know about ten of his patients that have had great success. Everyone of them have nothing but awesome things to say about him.
