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!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
