 I have been on a few forums for some while now I want to have surgery I just have so many questions it is not the same doing research then here it from people that have truly had surgery their self's. So I have seen so a lot of post here from ojosverdes she is always talking about Dr.Quinones and it sound like he or she has had a good experience with this man. Has any body has surgery with this doctor. And if so how was your experience?

ppl who continually shill for their surgeon are often getting kick backs.

I used MBC I didn't have the problems that you did. the "nurses" always used gloves. they always found the vein the 1st stick.  very professional, kind, caring, and sweet. no infection when I came home just 4 holes and a stomach. the size of a thumb. almost 6 months post op and down 110 pounds

I did not use this particular doctor, but did have my surgery in Mexico, so I completely understand the nerves.  Whomever you choose, I would make sure you can find a LOT of positive feedback.  Good luck to you.

Hello everyone,  I'm researching gastric sleeve surgery through WFL center with Dr. Pompa but I can't seem to find any recent information/reviews for her.  Has anyone had a procedure done by her recently and if so what's your experience??  Very nervous about going to Mexico for surgery??!!!

last I heard, ppl were dissatisfied with her after it was found that she makes hourglass  shaped sleeves. 

Mid i couldn't find any recent posts, I personally wouldn't use her.

I used them once and had no problem. They are legit.

I have not used them personally, but have heard people say that Care Credit gives medical loans.  I do not have experience with these doctors, but I did have my surgery in Mexico.  Good luck to you on your decision.

I had my surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics in October 2014.  Regardless of who you choose in Mexico, I would recommend that you have a doctor close to home to follow up with you.  I am down more than 100 lbs and loving it.  I have minimal scarring and would recommend Dr. Garcia.  He is now doing surgeries at a newer hospital than he was when I had my surgery so it would do me no good to describe the hospital to you.  Whomever you choose, research the heck out of them and good luck to you.
