My surgery with Dr, Quinones was a exit I had a good experience and the staff and nurses treated me very well.

I think I even got better care then if I would have had surgery here in the states. Dr, Quinones and his staff treated me like their fam.  

They were always asking if I needed anything and if I was in any pain and if I needed med for the pain. They did not just drop me off in the border they took me all the way to the air port and made sure I got on the plain alright. If I ever have to get re sleeved I would go back in a heart beat. 

I am scheduled for a VSG on July 9th, 2016 with Dr. Ponce de Leon and co.  I contacted them directly without speaking to their coordinator. Dr. Frayre contacted me directly to set things up. Has anyone else done this before?  I am asking, because the whole thing seems a little unorganized to me compared to other people's stories.  I did my research on Dr.'s, so I'm not worried about the actual surgery itself, but the coordination has me a little worried.  For instance, all I did was text him the day that I wanted to have surgery, and he texted back that it was fine, and then I sent Dr. Frayre my air travel itinerary.  He has not sent that much information to me.  Should I be worried, or will I actually have a date, driver, hotel, surgery when I get there. He also told me to have my payment, certified check, made out to him, Dr. Frayre, which I think is kind of weird.  Can someone please help me clarify?

Thanks, 

Mary

I'm doing really good and loving the energy that have after surgery.

I can not believe just a few weeks out and I have energy .....yes...

I will start talking more about my day to day journey so that you all can keep giving me raw raws. I have lost 18lb and cant believe  that I have done so good on following rules. good night to all talk to you all tomorrow.

I just had surgery with Dr Quinones and no I do not think you are crazy for thinking that. I had a grat exsperience with Dr Quinones he was great friend and doctor. Not only was he their for my needs he is registered from Jonson and Johnson and he had a lot of other quality's like he teaches doctors to do bariatric and he has even done residential w.l.s in tre U.S.

If you choose to go with him you will not regreat it you will see.

When are you planing to have surgery, have you already started any pre op?

My head is just spinning. I feel like i settle on someone and then i read something that makes me nervous. Hate this process of finding someone!
