I used Dr. Q. No regrets.

I am on long term pain meds because of several neck fusions, bad hip, etc. Started taking them again 2 days after surgery, with my doctors approval

I had a band put in in 2007. Saw Dr. Quinones on April 1 and had it removed and the sleeve done. No issues and no regrets.

I see Dr. Quinones on April 1,

I'll let you know after April 1.

Oh, you are so on my wavelength! Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer. More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Having Lapband removed and sleeve done on april 1 with Dr. Quinones. What did you pack/bring with you or wish you would have brought? Thanks

Man did I screw that post up. April 1 with Dr. Quinones at Santa Fe Medical.

After going back and forth, I pretty much said screw it and went with my gut on surgeons after weeks of research. Will be have revision from Band to Sleeve April 1 with Dr. Quinones. Probably traveling alone if anyone else will be there about this time.

Looks like Feb 8 with Dr. Quinones. Tired of researching and changing my mind. LOL

Don't blame him, you look like a teenager.

So you mind sharing cost ktodd or messaging me?

Talk to YOUR insurance about complications, I did and they don't cover it. I am battling the same thing in my head about complications ans cost/where to have it dealt with. Talk to the Doctor that is doing the surgery about his policy.

Are you self pay?

Thanks for the replies. Been in touch with insurance and it is still only gastric bypass. Hoping to meet with surgeon next week to discuss options. Was just seeing if someone here might have ran into this already.
