I saw Dr Q back in May 2013. I have lost 100 pounds and still losing inches. I went alone so I was really scared but as soon as I met Dr Q and his staff I was completely at ease. They were so warm and caring. Before I chose him I had taken a list of 4 surgeons to my regular Dr and asked her to do some research and she told me that Dr Q was the best from my list and that he was highly educated in gastric surgeries. I highly recommend him.


 


If you have any questions please feel free to PM me

I just had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Quinones on October 23, 2014. His staff is great and I love the nurses! I didn't have hardly any pain afterwards and just a little gas pain. One of the staff even took me for a walk outside so I could get some fresh air. I went alone and was well taken care of from beginning to end. I do recommend Dr. Quinones and his staff.

My personal experience with Dr. Q and his staff was amazing. I'm thrilled with my decision and would make it again in a heartbeat. I traveled alone from SC (my choice, not my husband's, LOL) and never felt concerned about it.

I eat clean, lots of veggies, good quality Protein, fruit, and avoid as much processed food as I can though I do make conscious decisions to enjoy some other things at time. The gym at 4:30am is my friend as I know I'm actually going to make it there and I love having it to myself and the podcasts on my iPhone.

The sleeve is an amazing tool and I'm so glad I chose Dr. Q to help me.

I think they are both very good in this price range. There are better hospitals and surgeons but they are both more than competent.

Price wasn't a deciding factor for me and I still chose Dr. Quinones. I definitely could've paid more for an American-style hospital setting but that wasn't important, the surgeon was.

Yes, I was sleeved by Dr. Lopez on 11/3/14. All went well. No complications. You can read more through my posts about my experience.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
