What is the word on Dr. Jaime Ponce DeLeon?
I am looking to have surgery and can't find much information on him. I see he works in collaboration with Dr. Almanza now but that is all I can find. Anyone here dealt with him and have anything to share?
A little info on me would help I guess...
I am looking to have the biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch and need to find a surgeon in my budget of $8000. I have contacted Dr. Ungson and Sonneville both personally referred by friends and family but really can't afford $12k plus other costs. I guess if worst comes to worst I could wait til Christmas and use my gift money I always get from family but would really like to have it sooner than later.
Anyhow, that's all I want to know...

Hi, my name is Jessi and I am booked on the 22nd for the verticle sleeve with Dr. Ponce de Leon. I am getting very afraid as there are two people I know here in Saskatoon that work for Weight Loss Forever and they are sending me very scary emails about him and for me not to go there. Plus they are saying that he is not a real doctor. I need help from someone who has been there on how is he, what kind of doctor is he, where exactly is INT Hospital, am I going to be safe? I am sorry but I am getting very terrified. Please answer me back at [email protected].
Thank you
Jessi

I don't believe that Dr. Ponce is the one they are referring to. I've read several posts over the last year and a half that question Almanza but not Ponce. I just got back from TJ last week - my husband just had a VSG with Dr. Verboonen at INT Hospital. I saw Ponce while I was there. INT hospital is in the medical district which is a very nice area - I felt safe there and even went walking in the area without feeling uncomfortable. I think its good that Ponce is doing your surgery at INT instead of the "clinic" that Almanza uses. You will be in good hands at INT. If you are that concerned about Ponce you might consider looking into Verboonen. He will most likely charge around the same and may even match Ponce's price if you ask.
Hi, it is me again Jessi. Well, I am back from surgery done by Dr. Ponce and he is an absolute dream of a person and surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone. The INT hospital is so beautiful, clean and well run. Everyone was so good to me there, I was never alone for a minute. I am so happy I did not listen to the silly woman here where Iive as I would have never had such a wonderful experience. I was even taken shopping.

Revision on 01/25/16
I am currently speaking with Trish about scheduling a revision surgery with Dr. Ponce de Leon for January 25th. Do you have any advice for someone just starting this process? Did you book with a coordinator? I am working with Trish. I am traveling alone and want to make sure I understand as much as possible before take off.
Thanks and best of luck!
