RE: Dr. Joya Gastric Sleeve Surgery Hello

You can also read my story on Obesity Help as well
Look to the Right side of the page for the Archives and look at March 2008. I give a pretty detailed account of my time in PV.

Hi Rabecca!  I would most certainly recommend Dr. Joya!  Here is a link to my profile page on obesityhelp. com:  http://www.obesityh elp.com/member/ sammysword
I am 6 months out and have lost 60 pounds.  You can read all about my PV experience and my 6 month update as well as a few pics on my profile.  Let me know if you have any questions that aren't answered on there.  Best of luck to you!!  Take care - Sammy

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
