Pompeii Surgical (Dr Quinones)



Recommended Posts

Has anyone previously used Dr Q at Pompeii Surgical? I was approved for the surgery and their In-House financing program and it seems like my only option due to low credit history and No gastric coverage on my insurance. But I'd like to find some reviews that's aren't on their website first.

I was sleaved by Dr. Q on 1/18/17 along with my friend that had a band to sleave revision. Everyone was really nice. Dr. Q is great. I would do it again. Good luck in your journey.

That's awesome to hear! I was approved for the surgery yesterday and just got the contract for the financing. Medical Tourism Scares me but not as much as dying from being so overweight.

I went to Dr Quinones at Pompeii Surgical. He did a great job and the staff was great. The surgery Center was kinda small though. The rooms are not very private and you can hear evervything going on. No private bathroom in the rooms which was the biggest surprise for me. If youb want the place to look like a surgical center in US then this isn't the place for you. It's was very clean though and I can't say enough about the great staff.

That's so great! Thank you for responding. I'm doing pre-op diet now. It's rough. 11 days till surgery. Excitement has now joined the nervousness!

      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! 😞
