I saw Dr Q back in May 2013. I have lost 100 pounds and still losing inches. I went alone so I was really scared but as soon as I met Dr Q and his staff I was completely at ease. They were so warm and caring. Before I chose him I had taken a list of 4 surgeons to my regular Dr and asked her to do some research and she told me that Dr Q was the best from my list and that he was highly educated in gastric surgeries. I highly recommend him.


 


If you have any questions please feel free to PM me

I just had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Quinones on October 23, 2014. His staff is great and I love the nurses! I didn't have hardly any pain afterwards and just a little gas pain. One of the staff even took me for a walk outside so I could get some fresh air. I went alone and was well taken care of from beginning to end. I do recommend Dr. Quinones and his staff.

My personal experience with Dr. Q and his staff was amazing. I'm thrilled with my decision and would make it again in a heartbeat. I traveled alone from SC (my choice, not my husband's, LOL) and never felt concerned about it.

I eat clean, lots of veggies, good quality Protein, fruit, and avoid as much processed food as I can though I do make conscious decisions to enjoy some other things at time. The gym at 4:30am is my friend as I know I'm actually going to make it there and I love having it to myself and the podcasts on my iPhone.

The sleeve is an amazing tool and I'm so glad I chose Dr. Q to help me.

I think they are both very good in this price range. There are better hospitals and surgeons but they are both more than competent.

Price wasn't a deciding factor for me and I still chose Dr. Quinones. I definitely could've paid more for an American-style hospital setting but that wasn't important, the surgeon was.

Yes, I was sleeved by Dr. Lopez on 11/3/14. All went well. No complications. You can read more through my posts about my experience.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
