Re: Dr. Joya Gastric Sleeve Surgery Hello

Hello!  I had the Sleeve with Dr. Joya March 17, 2008. Yes, I would do it all over again. Its been a hard road for me at times, but I have lost 90 lbs and feel great most days. I have a long way to go from here. I had a really high BMI when I started. Most doctors wouldnt touch me until I lost alot of weight beforehand. Dr. Joya did!  He is a really good doctor, very nice, polite, and caring. I couldnt have asked for a better group taking care of me. I am a nurse and in the States, you sometimes dont get that great of care...too many patients, too much red tape, and too little time. But I got great care with Dr. Joya and have recommended him to others.
Good luck.

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~
