Hello

Hi there... My name is Rabecca and I had the DS in 2001. My husband
would also like to have WLS, but we can't afford to go back to Dr B
in Spain due to the weak US dollar. We are considering Mexico
instead, and he is very interested in the sleave.

Can you tell me a bit about Dr Joya?

Have you had the sleave?

Would you choose that surgery again and why?

How long do you need to stay near the hospital after surgery?

How is the followup care?

I am looking for any information you can give me, as we want to make
a well informed decision. You can email us privately if you wish at
rabeccawhalen @verizon.net (you will need to take out the space).
Thank you in advance!!!

~hugs~
Rabecca
