  1. I no longer am affiliated with Sanchez Medical Services and therefore do not endorse Dr. Quinones any longer as an affiliate, employee, worker, contracter, patient etc. I would not be a goosd source for information related to his use. You can read about my experience in my blogs and use that for whatever purposes in your decision or research for Dr. Quinones. I am considering to endorse other surgeon providers soon and will keep you all informed. Any inquiries you can inbox me as many of you have been already. Thanks for the support- SORRY GIRL I WROTE THIS ON YOUR JOURNEY THREAD. UPDATE US WITH PHOTOS. I LOST IR NBR I GOT A NEW PJONE INBOX ME Phoenixrise

  5. I would be curious to know too why someone would go from India to Mexico for surgery. Really? my name is India I live in San Diego,
  6. If you were to deposit $500 before the 31st of December it is 4,000. if you deposit after the 31st of December it is $500 deposit still but the price is $4,500.00. The website is weightlosswithsurgery.com if you fill out a questionnaire put my name so that I can look out for it.

  10. If anyone is interested my surgeon will be doing a promo for the plication until Dec.31st to help everyone reach their weight loss goals for the new year. He is doing it for $3800.00 I paid that much for my surgery when he ran a promo for gastric sleeve. The doctors information is.. drsergioquinones.emarketteam.com this is UNDER CONSTRUCTION right now and will be changing domain addresse, but is current for now the email is: iprice@drsergioquinones.com, 8778688057 or 6192187433 is the direct number to the coordinator. Maybe this can help some of you get surgery even sooner. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
  11. Normal weight loss is at 20 or so pounds the first month and an average of 10lbs a month after anything more than that your losing at a fast pace what it looks like you are. IT WILL end up averaging out. Meaning a few months down the line it will seem like you lost 10 lbs a month. I lost like 20 something pounds my first month and then 10 each after. I am now 57lbs lost I had surgery in July and I am close to being 5 months out. I had the sleeve not plication though. Don't worry I noticed to me losing a not as fast has preserved my hair, and other issues others who lost more than I have are having.
  12. i used Dr.Sergio Quinones he is very affordable and you can PM me for more information. The doctor is really sincere and caring. Everything is included in the cost which is $4,300.00 the promo he had for 4k just ended. I know a few doctors are going up on price on the first of the year so where ever you go make sure to lock in your price if you don't have surgery this year.
  13. Hey girl just wanted to update you, I am down 53lbs in 4 months and one week out, I believe I have about 53lbs give or take to go on this journey. I am steadily losing, and I will update you in another month.
  14. Thanks for the advice on the doctor. I learned that having an active lifestyle is key to weight loss. I am so glad to know your still losing weight. I am down 40lbs and have 79 lbs to go. I can't wait to get this weight off ASAP. Stay in touch and keep us updated.
  15. @Amazon It has nothing to do with a kick but if someone referenced you and someone else in a video about the doctor you would then see the stance I am taking. I mean don't use the fact I said I had a good experience to be the reason you choose the doctor. probably started thinking crazy and cancel 3 days before and make it seem like it was due to me. I even got my referral from this site. Make your video but please do not reference me or anyone else to prove your point. I get everyone is entitled to their opinion but at the same time it would be a lot of patients who must be getting kicks then. I am just tired of the BS on every post so yeah if I see it I am going to comment.
  16. Well if the staff is telling you they will refund you your cost, and fees and to let them rectify the situation before posting on several forums is by far not a cover up on their end. Even in the states when things happen you still have to give the company time to re-issue money to you before you can complain about incompetence. If I am going to tell them no keep the money basically so you can have the "right" to talk bad about the doctor then your still giving bad press about a situation you really didn't want to rectify in the first place. If feels more of an accomplishment to ruin someones name then to make it right with the situation. Any doctor you go with your risking your life true that. Like i said there is way more to this then this thread on verticalsleevetalk.com. It is what it is. At the end of the day, like I said I don't knock her I just don't like how she is referring to someone she doesn't know but would have others believe she knows or at least has had personal dealings with and hasn't.
  17. I went with Quinones as well most affordable on here mydocline@gmail.com is the email. His wesbite is drsergioquinones.com. No post complications after surgery, No leak issues or any problems. I had a personal Valet pick me up and drop me off at my location. You can bring a guest at no additional charge. They have wifi etc. at the facility. The location is more of a private hospital setting in a new facility in the newer part of TJ and not in a strip mall. There is an onsite doctor at all times during your stay, if you have surgery on Friday you will stay til Sunday and then go to Hotel Del Rio. Just FYI regardless who you pick be aware doctors are going up on pricing on the first of the year, not all are but many are. So keep that in mind and ask when you call and get pricing if you plan to get surgery next year. The majority of his patients are on Gastric Sleeve a few are on here.
  18. @Glittering, That is true there are many doctors out there but I feel like this... You read this post and now he is a doctor you wouldn't even consider and your taking the word of someone who never used him so what she has to say has nothing to do with the actual surgeon and surgery you will have. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS. No one but her had a bad experience with the admin staff. I don't knock her but I just don't like the fact her issue had nothing to do with the doctor. She is really telling people not to go to a great surgeon, who is affordable and offers A GREAT EXPERIENCE. Your comment alone "I wouldn't risk it" proves that she is ruining the doctors name and would have you all think it was something he did when she never even had any dealings with him. Her issue is with his admin staff Henry. If Henry was to work for Dr.Pompa should she make a video telling others not to go to her surgeon because he works for her? Then what about Quinones would it then be okay to go to him because Henry no longer works for him? It is really messed up she is using the doctors name in this and even has a video saying she has personal experience with the doctor when she doesn't. It is wrong, I know what is right and this isn't right. Especially when you all are encouraging her to re-post. If that was yourselves you wouldn't want half the story out there and people passing judgment on something someone else was responsible of doing, but your being held responsible for. Then that person doesn't even want to attempt to clarify what they wrote as being misleading or just to redact what was said that was false. Some people so quick to tell it even if it is wrong. AS TOLD TO HER I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN ADMIN ISSUE THAN A DOCTOR ISSUE. I live across from the TJ borders so I am aware of all the great surgeons there and he is one THAT shouldn't even be in this thread. When you got others killing their patients which I HEAR ABOUT ON MY LOCAL NEWS, DO YOU ALL? NO, those are the ones she should be warning people about.
