Texas Endosurgery Associates Bariatric Center
Its been a great experience! The whole process with the dietician appts really helped me prepare for what was to come. By the time surgery day approached I was completely ready, and felt I was armed with the knowledge that would allow me to succeed with the weight loss. Presently, 2 weeks post op, I'm down a total of 43 lbs! Dr Bonnor and his staff have been excellent to deal with, and the surgery went off with no complications.
I had gastric bypass about a year ago and it completely changed my life. It was a hard decision but I can happily say that it was the best decision I have made in regards to my health. Dr. Bonnor and his staff have been incredible from the start and continue to help me with anything I need or have questions about. I would recommend Dr. Bonnor to anyone considering weight loss surgery. In my case, I needed the bypass for several heath issues including reflux and diabetes, just to name a couple. I can happily say I no longer take any medicines for those issues. I feel like I have a new lease on life where I am able to enjoy my grandkids and do things I would never been able to do before making this change.

I had the best experience with Dr. Bonnor & his staff! Before choosing Dr. Bonnor as my Surgeon, I did my research, and had several consultations. Dr. Bonnor was my first choice! He is honest, opinionated, knowledgable & super realistic. I needed that! When I began my journey January 2013 I weighed 370 lbs... OMG I was desperate for a change. Dr. Bonnors staff was way helpful guiding me through the insurance process, and it was a breeze. My surgery date was 8/20/13, I was literally back to work in 10 days, but back to normal in two full weeks. Three months out of Surgery, my current weight is 298lbs and losing. I feel great & I'm 100% happy with my results.
Choosing Dr. Bonnor as my professional for the surgery I had was an excellent choice for me. He and his staff are second to none when it came to my pre-surgery, surgery and post surgery care and when it came to communicating what they needed from me and what I could expect from them. He is a very positive person and made it easy for me to understand the procedure right for me. All of my expectations were met regarding the knowledge I needed associated with my surgery. I am a very pleased and grateful patient of Dr. Bonnor and staff, I appreciate the warmth and friendliness I was greeted with at each office visit or during any phone communication I had with the staff.
I had a bypass it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. After being over weight for 20 years . My experience with Dr. Bonnor and his staff they are wonderful always available to answer questions . I would refer Dr. Bonnor to anyone that is thinking of having any weight loss surgery my experience with them was absulutely wonderful. Thank you Dr. Bonnor for getting my started on my journey of a healthier life style.

Had surgery on Aug 15th, and today I am almost 60 lbs lighter! I had done the lapband with another doctor prior to meeting Dr. Bonnor, and when that doctor retired, he referred me to this practice. I later had complications from that lapband, and Dr. Bonnor had to do an emergency removal. That surgery went extremely well. Well, I regained all of the weight initially lost with the lapband, and decided to pay Dr. Bonnor another visit to discuss a revision from the lapband. Dr. Bonnor gave me all of the facts, especially regarding the possible things that could go wrong, but assured me he was that best! I did it, and although I had some issues initially as a result of having so much scar tissue from previous surgeries, Dr. Bonnor took exceptional care of me. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is considering the weight loss surgery. He is the type of doctor who takes pride in his work, and sincerely cares about his patients. I am extremely grateful to have him as my doctor and recommend him highly! He is indeed the BEST!!!!!

I have struggled with obesity for the majority of my life. At the age of 29 I decided to do something about it. I scheduled my appointment with Dr. Ricardo Bonner and started my life changing experience. Dr. Bonner and his staff are great people. I had my surgery on February 12, 2012 and 9 months later I am 100+ pounds down and closer to my weight goal. I would recommend anyone who has a problem with weight to take full advantage of weight loss surgery.

I have had an excellent experience in my journey with Dr. Bonnor. He has always been straightforward with me and given me all the information I need. He is a very knowledgeable and competent doctor. My surgery could not have gone any smoother and recovery was much easier than I had expected. I was out of the hospital the very next day and back to work within a week. I am a teacher and Dr. Bonnor and his staff have accommodated me by having all of my appointments during summer, holidays or Saturdays so I never had to miss a day of work. In the first three months after surgery I have lost 74 pounds and am now able to quit using my blood pressure and cholesterol meds. My BP this morning at my check up was 127/74!! I would recommend him to anyone.
