Dr. Quinones at Pompeii - Reviews?



Recommended Posts

I'm currently scheduled for a sleeve revision to bypass on July 3rd due to severe reflux that has been eroding my insides and teeth for the past nine years. I choose Dr. Q based on many positive reviews and personal discussion with many of his patients. However, I was recently contacted by someone who has said that they would never let Dr. Q do the surgery and there is a whole FB page dedicated to uncensored commentary. I have asked to be let in the group but they have not responded yet.

Although I get that social media is a platform that spurns both positive and negative, I have to calm my curiosity now. Anyone have any experience with Dr. Q? I'm asking in the bypass section because that's what I'm having.

Thanks.

I hope you didn't find anything legitimate, because I go under in about 3 hours. So far very happy with how smoothly things run and how helpful the staff is.

Hey, @WendyS2BP, how did it all go for you? How are you feeling now that you're 8 days out?

They made a mistake and put me with Dr Saucedo. They offered to try to do something about it but I let it slide, given how amazing the facility and all the staff were. I'm taking so well to the surgery that I don't mind at all that I got a different surgeon. Plus, he was very warm and encouraging and even checked in with my companion (mom) to make sure she was eating and taking care of herself while there.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
