    Hi, thanks for the good wishes but I could not travel had to deal with some identity theft in the IRS aparently someone was trying to fill taxes under my name the good news is that they werent able to received the refund so that issue made me stay here and change the date of the surgery, I was really mad at first but then I started thinking , that after all I was really lucky that they couldd not get the refund so Im better now just being positive about the whole issue.

    Hey girlie,

    How are you? I'm getting ready for surgery next Wednesday and just wanted to check in. Is there anything that I need to know before I go? I will be packing this weekend and just wanted to make sure I have everything for me and my daugther.

    Thanks!
  5. Hey gang I made it and doing great just a little indigestion I guess I'll be one of those people with reflux but hopefully it passes. Surgery went great I didn't feel a thing the nursing staff and Dr. Quinones have been great. The only thing I remember is walking to the OR room meeting the anesthesiologist and him asking about previous surgeries(csection), do you have braces (yes) and was my nails gel or acrylic ( just nail polish) dummy me should have known they needed that to monitor color/oxygen saturation. Anywhoo when I woke a few hours later I couldn't walk I was too scared I didn't want to fall so the nurse placed a foley and I slept thru the night .woke up this morning took a shower put my own gown walked the halls a few times had ice chips and a Popsicle all went down wonderfully. Coordinators here and Bill have called and checked up on us daily . So happy I choose Dr. Quinones :-)

    Hello there, I'm new to this form and I noticed you just had surgery yesterday. I hope you are doing well. I'm just looking into having the gastric sleeve done. I noticed you used the same surgeon that I'm interested in using. I would greatly appreciate and info you can give me. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Take Care

    Hey girl.. Wow, you made it! Thank you for the info and I pray that the Lord guides you and releases his supernatural healing into your new sleeve. Look forward to hearing from you. Rest up and smile!!

    Sounds awesome! I'm excited for you!
  9. Hotel Real del Rio is nice, comfy and quiet. I have been sleep 8 hours straight I had to come a day earlier because I couldn't change flights after I switched from Dr. Almanza to Dr. Quinones. Thank God for the switch. The hotel has free wifi and restaurant. Chicken tortilla soup (I only had the broth of the soup) was 49$ on menu but that was in pesos so I paid under 4$. Staff has been helpful and nice. There is no gang banging and partying in the streets, it's very safe. A few staff speak English and the Tv has some English channels. I would still suggest some kind of electronic device for entertainment if coming alone. Npo at midnight I'll be on the sleeved side tomorrow #cant wait.

Switched Surgeons Today!!

by Sleeve nurse on 02-07-2014 at 10:09 PM
Today I got lucky and switched my surgeon to Dr. Quinones. This forum is very helpful, informative and scary all at the same time. After ready this site daily I started to feel a pit in my stomach and a little bit jealous that I didn't research more. I'm not trying to say anything bad about Dr. Almanza because I have read some wonderful success stories about him I myself was just a little worried abt the stitches and a few other things. Had I not got lucky I would've still had my surgery with Dr.Almanza
