I had a fabulous experience with Dr. Quinones. I would highly recommend him and his entire staff. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

I paid $4500 in January. There is a Facebook group called "our journey to a healthier life" which is not exclusive to Dr. Quinones but the vast majority of users and the moderator are Dr. Quinones patients.

$4500 is super cheap. Here in the states they want me to pay $25000. Is that a support group? I haven't decided on a doctor. I am still looking. A woman I know mentioned something about Mexico surgery so I started looking and Dr Q had good reviews but Im scared and unsure.

I would love to talk to people and ask questions about him who have worked with him and maybe I can get names on other doctors. How can I join that group? This site is informative but so overwhelming it's really scaring me.

I sent you some contact information for someone who can answer your questions and get you into that Facebook group.

I had surgery with DR Quinones last May. He is an amazing surgeon! If I had to do it again I would definately pick him. One of my regular Doctors even looked into him before my surgery and told me he was the way to go. (My insurance wouldn't cover the surgery but my Dr was all for me doing it). I paid $4500 for the surgery, I am down 108 pounds and loving my sleeve :)

My husband and I both used Dr Quinones and would fully recommend him to anyone wanting WLS. He is very skilled and we couldn't have gotten better care.

I am not a lot of help with experience but I am scheduled with him for June 2!!

Hoping to find a buddy that will be down the same time as me since I am travelling alone from the great white north to sunny Mexico!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
