happyhabit 7 Posted June 21, 2014 I saw Dr Q May 2013. I love my sleeve! He was an amazing Doctor and his staff are the best. My surgery was 4500. I had one of my regular Doctors do some research on 4 Doctors in Mexico and she came back and said that Dr Q had the best success rate and was highly recommended in the medical field. Im happy to answer any questions. Michelle 2 baby_angel and CandyPants81 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mowgli19 9 Posted June 22, 2014 I was sleeved with Dr. Q on Thursday. ..I am still in Mexico. I had a lot of anxiety when I got here, from the pre op diet to not eating to traveling and Dr. Q and his staff were fantastic. Dr. Q will sit and talk to you for as long as you need. He has so much experience and you even get a copy of your surgery. Dr. Q as a person does a lot for his community...he is not out to do as many surgeries as possible for the money. To give personal care, he limits surgeries to 3 a day. I did a lot of research before deciding on Dr. Q..I even saw one post where a woman research his instruments and the manufacture of the staples. BTY, Dr. Q uses sutures and staples. At the surgery center, there is a doctor on all night, your nurse and an interpreter. My husband came with me and he and another husband were introduced to some great local eating places. One was a taco stand across the street that they went back to 3 times. All in all I had great care and everything was upfront. I highly recommend Dr. Q 3 baby_angel, Stacy'sSleevedLife and zmdh39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it in spanish or english. I had a friend that was done a few weeks ago and doing well. she said you can get a video for your record to. 1 Stacy'sSleevedLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stacey3272 5 Posted June 25, 2014 I like what I hear about him. My friend had so far good care. But I did find that his clinic is a smaller one. If something happens during surgery do they have what out need to deal with it. I saw this not sure what holds Water but his clinic was on the low end. Any thoughts? http://www.mexicobariatricsurgerycenters.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If something happens during surgery do they have what out need to deal with it. I saw this not sure what holds Water but his clinic was on the low end. Any thoughts? http://www.mexicobariatricsurgerycenters.com/ I'll be honest, I was concerned about the surgery center as well. In fact, it was my primary concern regarding choosing Dr. Q (I'd already researched his credentials and experience so I was comfortable with him as a surgeon). But I spoke with every former patient that would speak to me, and nobody had anything negative to say about their experience. I've heard that it is a small clinic, and that it is very clean and efficient. I don't need it to be a luxury hotel. My main concern is that I would feel safe and comfortable there, and not one person I've chatted with has had anything negative to say about the facility. Aside from safety and comfort, I needed to know that I would have a private room and bathroom, and that my husband would be able to stay with me in my room. That was not negotiable, and I was pleased to learn that those requests can be accommodated. I was told that it is different from US hospitals and clinics, but not worse. Just different. Knowing that, I'm excited to go. And believe me, I researched this for MONTHS. candy 1 Stacy'sSleevedLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your honest feed back and keep me posted as well after you go and how it went for you. 2 CandyPants81 and Stacy'sSleevedLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynnsey2121 0 Posted August 12, 2014 Why when I filled out the questionnaire on his website, I haven't heard anything back yet? I did this at least 2-3 weeks ago. Odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
