Congratulations on making your decision. I had Dr Ponce and Barb is right you are in excellent hands.

  Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico     VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.

These are on sale right now at Rexall-  I am wondering if these are good for your pre-op when they tell you to drink a protein drink 3 times a day.

CONGRATULATIONS.  I went to Tijuana for my surgery.  Best thing I ever did for myself.  You are in good hands Dr. Ponce is awesome.

You are doing great! I hope everything goes well for you and you get your appointments soon. My BMI at referral was 57I was down to 300 lbs the morning of surgery and my BMI 5 months after surgery is 37.9! It was a long road but well worth it...

Topic: Good Day Yesterday

I have been losing weight on my own for the past 5 years. My heaviest was 479 and back last fall I was down to 374. I wanted to get my current weight and I assumed I may of gained or hardly lost any weight at all. As I got weighed I saw 358.1, I couldn't believe it so I weighed myself again, same 358.1. I had an appointment to see my dietician at my Endocrinologist office, she is also the dietician for the Bariatric clinic at Vic. She recalculated my BMI and I officially met the criteria of 55 and under. My BMI was 54! I was working hard to get it down from 60 a few years ago. I mailed my questionnaire but I have not heard back in regards to my first set appointments. I called them yesterday but left a message. I told the dietician about my concern of it getting there in time, She said she was going to check. I mailed it about a week after the seminar. I didn't want to take handi-transit all the way from the Seven Oaks area to Vic. I just hope the clinic received it.
