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.

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

Dr Q I think is the way I am going to go as well. You said you get a copy or your surgery. 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.

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?

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.

This is how I am feeling to. I need to know if a major complication came up how is it going to be handled. Thanks for your honest feed back and keep me posted as well after you go and how it went for you.

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.

      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.
