I'm looking into seeing Dr. Quinones for my surgery. Has anyone else used him? If so, what was your experience like?

My husband and I had our surgeries with him on January 2, 2013. We both love him and are trilled with our results. We had zero complications, and love our new sleeved lives. My husband has now lost 100lbs and I have lost 81lbs. Dr. Quinones is an amazing, skilled, compassionate Dr. I highly recommend him. Feel free to ask any questions that you might think of!

I was sleeved by Dr Q on May 7th. So far I've lost 47 pounds. But best of all is my overall health. I've beat diabetes - no more 4 shots a day, I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I also had a high white blood cell count that was worrying my doctors- that also is slowly going down. My experience with him was great. They treated me and my dad well and I was never sick or nauseated. I had very little pain and started walking as soon as I woke up the next day. I have to admit that I was nervous but so far everything is good. My incisions have healed well and over time I think they'll be invisible. I am in the middle of the pack - not losing to fast or to slow but that's ok - it took me 31 years to get fat - a few years to lose isn't too bad. The coordinators are great and so was the staff. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I don't work for them- just really happy with my experience.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
