So I've picked Dr Quinones to perform sleeve for my teenager and husband in October. I've heard great things and feel good about my choice but I'd like to know one last time if there is anyone who has had a negative experience. If you have had a great experience please let me know that as well. Thanks!

How did it go??

Wonderful! My 13 year old and husband had it the same day. Everything was great! I think their experience was much better than mine as far as the surgery itself and mine was done in the states at a bariatric center of excellence! Anyway Dr Q is probably the kindest most humble man I've ever met. He loves his patients and only does 3 surgeries a day. He is extremely experienced, had nothing bad that I could find in my research. He works at the E.R on weekends and was Cheif of General Surgery at the Tijuana hospital. The list really goes on and on. Since my daughter and husband I have referred a friend and my dad and step mom. They have all done great! The change in my daughter has been a life changer. She has confidence, friends and is finally able to just live her life completely without all the extra garbage. Being a teenager is hard enough but at least she doesn't have that extreme hardship anymore. She went from about 230 to 150 a size 20 to about a size 8/10. My husband went from 300 to 192. My friend who had hers in June went from 230 to about 150 so far. Anyway I'm biased but I would only recommend Dr Q.

Just as a side note there is another popular Dr right next to Dr Q who brings people in by the bus loads, he does up to 12 surgeries a day and has had multiple lawsuits against him and some deaths. He only does out patients outside of Mexico because if he did surgery on local patients he would go to jail. Please do your research make sure they don't do more than 5 surgeries a day at the most!!!

I have no input other than to say to look for the thread titled "Learn from my mistake". Same dr name but have no idea if same dr. Might want to check it out and get in contact with OP if you have any additional questions.

Thank you for that information to the both of you!

Ive read that review that said "learn from my mistake". It had to do with an associate the dr no longer works with and a refund situation. I visited the facility last week (i live in san diego) and i even asked about it. Thanks so much for the heads up.!

This looks odd. The person that answered in post #3 is not the OP of this thread.

@@PayItForward -- I thought the same thing, but #3 was responding to #1's question, i.e., "Wonderful" refers to the surgeon who'd already done her kid's and husband's surgeries.

@@slcmommy5 -- That's an interesting opening line. Is it meant to be part-humorous or do your teenager and husband have no say?
