Congrats on your decision. He is a good Board Certified Dr, so you will be in good hands. I still can't believe I have had the Sleeve most days, but as I wake up and some days are another pound down and seeing the changes in my body, I love it!!!

I like to finish my plate, and I think this will be my best tool (other than my sleeve)
-
I loved it!!!

I paid mine little by little for 7 months once figured out what Dr I wanted. When I got there I had a zero balance.

Sleeved Yesterday In Mexico Dr. Sergio Quinones
judy79 replied to readyset2go's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
He is low profile, and happy that way. I like that he doesn't advertise EVERYWHERE and overwhelm himself. Thats probably one of the reasons he is such a wonderful surgeon! If you need anymore info on him just pm me:) -

I was thinking of doing something while I was there. Dr Quinones works in one hospital and Sanchez Medical services has 2 hospitals, the other for plastics. I would had loved to get these lines filled in around my eyes lol. Money wise I could not:( Good lucka nd congrats!!! -
Congratulations to you all:)

Long term Mexican surgeries success?

Mine was done properly, and my Dr here says my incisions are clean and great! It was the best decision I ever made:) -
coordinators (Dr. Quinones)?
judy79 replied to smitten kitten's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
PM sent with some info on who to talk to:) -
I agree, my Dr is Board Certified. He went to school and is a real Dr, so why not? The only difference is about a mile that seperates him from the states!

How long did it take to schedule your surgery in Mexico?
judy79 replied to Olivia23's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr Quinones will schedule you as soon as you are doen with Pre op diet. But I think most Dr's will in Mexico. -
Newbie Introduction Planning VSG in MX
judy79 replied to HopefulintheNW's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm Dr Sergio Quinones. He has a pretty darn perfect record,a nd I was treated like royalty. I loved his credentials, and while he did my surgery he checked my Gall Bladder, Kidneys, and Liver. Just a very thorough guy, I can't thank him enough:) -
I had planned on going to Dr (Don't want specifics) and there are many reasons I changed my mind. I researched and can only tell you the facts of what I found out and why I changed my mind. My experience was so great, I believe everyone deserves the treatment I received (best treatment in any hospital EVER). I researched other Dr's but these were the 2 I went back and forth with. I decided that close to the Border was easy in and easy out lol,a nd I was right:) Here is a list of why I changed my mind! #1 Its a small hospital and not a walk in clinic as Dr x has his place in a strip mall and I want to be in a actual hospital. #2 Dr x does 8-14 surgeries a day, My Dr does usually 2 but up to 4. I didn't just want to be a number! #3 My husband came with me and we had our own private room where he stayed with me, Dr x had recovery rooms holding up to 4 patients. I loved my privacy and getting rested the first 2 days with total care for everything I asked for. #4Dr x sends you directly to a hotel to share with (I'm not sure how many beds) but you do have to share, they leave the IV in and transport you every day back to the Walk in Clinic to check you, I personally wanted my own room and stayed in it 2 nights without being moved around, or bothered by another patient. #5 Dr x only staples when he does the VSG, My Dr staples and also sutures to ensure no leaks. I know all have their downfall, but my Dr is 100% no leaks, and just a wonderful surgeon. #6 If you want a private room you must pay yourself, my Dr gives you a private room at a 4-5 star hotel. If your husband (or anyone goes with you they have to pay for an extra room anyways) #7 On the 3rd day I wanted to see the city as I was feeling better and they provide a free shuttle to take you shopping, and bring you what you need, I loved it! #8 As I got back to my hotel it was around 8:30 pm and my Dr came to the hotel to check on me, I thought he was great. #9 I was so well tended to, I wish I could tell it to the world, my Dr is $4500 and with so many more perks now, I figure you save $400, and if you bring someone $800. #10 My Dr is Board Certified, and Dr x is not. In fact my trained Dr x when they studies for Bariatrics! Please feel free to respond, and I also have a FB group that has 350 members from ALL Dr's and if you would like to join please give me your email address and I will be glad to add you. Sorry so long, but you asked lol. You can also feel free to call me if you like, but let me know you are from Verticle Sleeve Talk. Congrats on your decision and good luck PS I choose not to use names, I don't think any Dr's are "bad" Dr's, just different and with different styles for sure. I have friends on my FB who have went to all Dr's! Pics are 21 days out I just found this lol, I guess its more appropriate in this section!! Select carefully with any Dr, and good luck!

The best Dr and what I found in my surgery, I already posted it, but this forum seems appropriate
judy79 replied to judy79's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Yes I did, my dr is names Dr Sergio Quinones. I won't bad talk another Dr who has had some success and IMO might not be as good as mine, but Dr Quinones was top notch! -

Wow, thats your concern. My spelling lol. This is suppose to be a support group, and I didn't use spell check;) Many accusations in this one thread. Bottom line, someone helped me when I was gonna jump in feet first, all I can say is check everything! Safe and happy weightloss everyone:) -
I'm sorry:( The pre op is the worst part, after that just think of the good things to come:)
