Hi all! I went and had my gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Quinones in Mexico on August 12th 2014. My highest weight was 247. After a required two week pre-operation diet I got down to 239 lbs.

I know I don't know her personally and I've never talked to her. I have followed her post since I've joined almost a month ago. She was a very active part of this website and had a lot of good info.

Yesterday my seven year old son was once again asking about a baby brother or sister. I was scheduled to have my surgery in April. My partner shared with me that she was disappointed that there's a possibility of no children after this surgery. So I was out voted 2 to 1. Looks like my surgery is on hold for now, at least until I have a baby.

Can I please have some opinions on other surgeons besides almanza. I feel like I've been google searching for days with no luck. I would like to know my options before I just settle for the first surgeon found. I know he goes through weight loss agents, and they do payment plans. Does anyone know of other places in Mexico that offers something like this with no financing. Prices would also be awesome if at all possible

How was the hospital in Tijuana? Was it small or large? Did you have to go meet with the doctor before they scheduled the surgery?
