Hello! I just joined this site a while ago after stalking for two days! I'm looking at going with Dr. Quinones for the gastric sleeve but was wondering if people had any opinions about him. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated-this is a terrifying yet exciting possibility!

I used Dr. Q. No regrets.

I had surgery with Dr. Q 2/20/2014. I went with two friends, one was a lap band to sleeve conversion. We all have had little to no problems. I did not feel good and was kept at clinic an extra night, I could not get rid of gas pains. They kept me to make sure I was hydrated and on extra pain meds. My friend with the conversion was a little nauseous. The extra night I spent at clinic the girls (2post op and 2 caregivers) left the hotel and walked and shopped!!!! Crazy bitches! Anyway, I felt well looked after and feel like this was the best decision I ever made for my health! I do not hesitate to refer you to Dr. Q!!!

@@BlondeBanshee Thanks so much for your response. It helps so much to hear about people's positive experiences! Did you get charged more for staying an extra night? Anything you wish you had done differently?

I saw Dr Q back in May 2013. I have lost 110 pounds and still losing. I went alone so I was really scared but as soon as I met Dr Q and his staff I was completely at ease. They were so warm and caring. Before I chose him I had taken a list of 4 surgeons to my regular Dr and asked her to do some research and she told me that Dr Q was the best from my list and that he was highly educated in gastric surgeries. I highly recommend him.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
