    Shila, I am having my surgery with Dr. Almanza on your original date, since you got to move your date up, please keep me posted on how things went, thanks! Nervous but excited!

    Hi Shila, In my opinion Dr. Quinones strong points are. He is proctor certified (he was Almanza's surgical proctor), he only does 3 surgeries daily, he works out of a small private hospital, he speaks English and follows up with his patients daily post-op. These are just a few reasons I feel Dr. Quinones was the right choice for me.

  13. I think I am set on having Dr Almanza do my surgery. What do you feel the strong points of going to Dr. Quinones would be? Is the cost the same?

    Hello shila and welcome to the forum! I had my surgery with Dr. Sergio Quinones in Tijuana on January 12, 2013 and it was the best decision I could have made. I would and do strongly recommend Dr. Quinones to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery in Mexico. Dr. Quinones only performs 3 surgeries daily, they are performed in a private hospital. The more I did my research I came to realize that Dr. Quinones was my best option in Tijuana. Please feel free to private message me here or email (stacyeckel@gmail.com) me. I will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns about my experience in Tijuana with Dr. Quinones. Many people don't know about Dr. Quinones because he chooses not to advertise, 90% of Dr. Quinones patients come from other patient referrals.
    Good luck,
    Stacy

Unexpected NSV

by shila on 11-10-2014 at 01:24 AM
I went shopping for some long sleeved tops and sweaters this weekend. I'm walking through the mall and my pants keep slipping down my hips. I figured I must have grabbed a size 16 instead of the 14 out if my closet. When I was in the fitting room I took a look and nope, these were 14's the smallest size I now own. I ended up buying 5 pairs of size 12 pants. I was shocked because the scale didn't move at all this week! I will take that NSV. I love my sleeve!

Labs

by shila on 09-26-2014 at 12:53 PM
I had my 6 month labs drawn yesterday. They were great except for my cholesterol. It went up 38 points. I assume it's because my diet mostly consists of animal based protein. Has anyone else had their cholesterol go up after surgery?

loose joints

by shila on 08-06-2014 at 03:45 PM
In the last 2 weeks I feel like my ligaments and tendons are loose in my knee and hip joints. My patella seems to pop out of place when I turn to the side quickly and my hip also pops out. I don't feel very stable when I'm running ect. I'm wondering if I had fat pads that the ligaments and tendons were stretched over and now that some of it is gone they just haven't tightened. Has anyone else experiences this?

NSV this weekend

by shila on 07-27-2014 at 04:05 PM
This weekend I cleaned out my walk in closet and all the dresser drawers. I purged every piece of clothing that was too big. This is the first time EVER, that ever single piece of clothing I own fits. There is not one thing left for me to say, "maybe some day it will fit". Today it all fits!!!

Onederland and a NSV all in the same morning!

by shila on 07-09-2014 at 10:47 AM
This morning while getting dressed I decided to wear jeans instead of scrubs since I will just be doing some charting in the office. I grabbed a pair of jeans I haven't had on in a couple years just to see how tight they would be or if I could even pull them up. They fit!!! Not only did they fit but, they were a little lose. These are the smallest jeans in my closet so, I guess this girl is going to do a little shopping! As if that weren't exciting enough, I decided to hop on the scale and BAM,
