Does anyone have any experiences they can share about this doctor? I just found out they are running a special for the sleeve. I have to make my decision by tomorrow morning. Right now I'm leaning towards Dr. Illan. Thanks!

I was sleeved by Dr. Sergio Quinones Jan 12' date=' 2013 and it was the best decision I could have made. My experience was fantastic from the minute I arrived in San Diego. If you look at Dr. Q's credentials you see that he is a practicing board certified surgeon, he is Proctor Certified. If you would like anymore information on Dr. Quinones feel free to message me. The reason you don't see a lot about Dr. Q is that he does not advertise on any of the forums. Most of his patients come to him by patient referrals. Feel free to message me if you would like more information! Good luck..[/quote']

I have been seeing stories about Dr. Q having trouble with leaks. Do you know if there is any truth to this? There is a thread talking about it, but I never know what to believe.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
