Has anyone here used him?

I was told by my coordinator that I would not have to have a passport just two form of id DL and birth certificate because I was not flying in.

No, they don't!!!!! I did the same thing this weekend but with a close friend and she told me I was cheating! That she wanted to be like me when she grows up!

I am feeling the same here...... I keep reminding myself just like you that my weight doesn't offer me much of a future. At this point, I am starting to feel like my weight has consumed my life and to me, this is no living life. I constantly remind myself I want to run and play with my kids and enjoy their life with them and not just watch them enjoy life. This is what is keeping me off the fence and the reminder the pros out weight the cons for me. I wish you the best of luck!

I did it subconsciously, but tried to keep it in check. Once the pre-op diet starts, you'll kick it pretty fast. I had a last meal, and then did well with the liver shrinking diet before surgery.

Just remind yourself that you'll be able to eat again. Binging isn't the way to go, but a lot of us do it. Just keep yourself in check, and try to do small portions of your favorites.

Me as well, I feel so bad afterward. It scares me because I keep telling myself that I got to control it. Its seems like my fear and anxiety is driving my eating as well. Almost like a comfort.

I can't wait..... until....
1. I have more energy
2. to have my husband to be able to pick me up again.
3.to be able to enjoy vacation again.
4. to wear normal size clothing

I am having some of the same feelings about things like sodas and smoking......I try to think of it as a end to the dying me!! I tell myself these things are why I can no longer run and play with my kids. We as well have many memories and traditions that I will miss but I told my family we can make new memories and traditions. Change is not always bad and life sometimes require change in order to be happy!

Thanks ladies! Love seeing the numbers with you ladies weight loss. Nice Job!

Myself, my wife and my brother in law all had surgery in Juarez, Mexico in the last two months. We went through a company called BeLite Weight. The experience was awesome and I would recommend anyone to go there if you are doing Cash Pay. We all had Dr Jose Rodriguez and his team do our surgeries. He has done over 11000 procedures over his career. He is one of the original Dr's to perform the sleeve surgery even before it was approved in the US. The complication rate is less than 1% for this surgery. You will do just fine if you decide to go to Mexico. Good luck on your Journey. Here's to a healthy you!!!!!

I was told by my coordinator that I would not have to have a passport just two form of id DL and birth certificate because I was not flying in.

It was overwhelming at first. I flew in the day of surgery, got picked up in San Diego, drove to the clinic and immediately started filling out paperwork. I also met with Dr. Quinones before surgery, he speaks perfect English, and answered all of my last minute questions. Unfortunately, my surgery was the last one of the day since I arrived last, so I had a bit of a wait until they got me for surgery. I could have used someone to help calm my nerves. The entire staff was kind, and they always have a translator there, 24/7. My first 24 hrs after surgery was not great. I was constantly nauseated. And I was second guessing my decision. I didn't feel hardly any pain, but that nausea was too much. Turns out, they had me on narcotics for pain and an anti-nausea. Once I realized what they had me on, I asked them to stop the pain meds and only give me anti-nausea. I had a complete turn around after that. I was able to walk around a lot more and even felt up to talking to the other patients. I was able to laugh and smile again, so then I knew everything was going to be alright. My surgery was Nov 21, 2016. I am doing well. Other than how little I eat, I have no other indicators or issues I had surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Q and his staff.
