Sleeved Yesterday In Mexico Dr. Sergio Quinones

I was sleeved yesterday. I am doing really good according to the doctor. I have a drain, no pain, slight discomfort in my stomach but overall not bad!

Thanks to this sight I was well prepared. I followed the pre op instructions completely. I was dreaming about being chased by a milkshake and fries jumping over the moon... Lol the temptation did not win. I'm in Tijuana and all is well.

The staff is nice. The facility clean and the doctors are always checking in on you.

Well off to get more rest. I will report back later.

It has officially been a week since my surgery. I am very pleased. The only issue I have is gas. I am taking the gas pills my doctor prescribed but the gas is still there...oh well. If all I have is gas, I am ok.

I started my puree'd diet yesterday. I made tuna salad in the food process....can you say DELICIOUS!! My doctor suggested that I get as much Protein from food as I could and then use the supplements. I also tried the Gerber lil turkey sticks....they were good also and has 17g of protein per jar.

I am officially down 20 lbs since before my surgery. I am excited. On to the next week. I am about to go walk my dog..we stay out for about an hour. I am enjoying my new tool and I plan to make the best of it.

Thank you so much for the progress updates. It sounds like you are doing great and congrats on the 20 lbs. I look forward to joining you on the losers bench!

I'm almost two weeks out. I have not loss any more weight. I'm waiting to see my PCP to get the stitches out. I'm still happy I hope my checkup goes well. Fingers crossed, I will let you know how it goes.

I'm up. I'm proud today...I have been in the hotel gym for almost an hour working out. I got good news from my PCP. All of the lab work she performed was great two weeks after surgery. She was a little disappointed I didn't tell her before the surgery. I'm thankful this morning for good health and the ability to get up and let my workouts and the sleeve help meet my fitness goals.

Alright! Congrats on your sleeve! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling well! I'm going to look up the Body for Life workout...I can't exercise because my back went out, but as soon as my PT let's me, I'm on it!!! Hope to hear from you soon!

Who was ur doctor?

Nevermind I see! Good luck and congrats!

Congrats to you for taking the big step in your life! I'm glad that recovery is treating you so well. I wish you the best of luck on your journey to freedom!

How much did you pay for this surgery? I seen his ad for one price and another when i got on the website

  • Author

It was around $4500. You should email them from the website to get the current promotional rate.

I did they are running a special that ends today for 3800 and I couldn't find no one but you and one other person who had used him. You have to pay the deposit to lock in the price and have to have surgery by the end of August. I will be payiing the deposit today. This is so unreal I am one step closer and with the discount able to have surgery one month sooner. :)

Is he affiliated with Ponce dr Leon.

This is where i found him. RIght???
