I booked with Dr Joya in P.V. Mexico.It was great. Have you tried to call weight loss forever. They are a great company. They let me attend all the support meetings every month even tho i didn't use then for my surgery( Didn't know about then at the time)
Good luck

 I just joined the forum and am from Saskatchewan too... there are not really alot of us here. Interesting information. In my first assessment appointment I made a bit of an observation though... People in the waiting room were all talking about their surgeries and the ones with RNY were so thin and had lost so much, yet the two who were similar post op who had the sleeve because they didnt qualify for the RNY hadn't lost as much and were still quite heavy. Of course it's all individual decisions. 

 hi, I am from Saskatchewan and just started my presurgery six month program. I was on the wait list exactly one year. Good luck to you!

I am looking for anyone who has use this dr good or bad, i would like your input on a Dr. Jaimie Ponce DeLeon at the INT Hospital in Zona Rio area of Tijuana Mexico? I am considering him to do my VSG and would like to more info and opinions from others on him and the hospital too. Thanks

Hey there Terry,
I stayed at the traveloge on the south side of Regina. I believe they give medical discounts. I know for sure that the clinic will gladly issue you a note stating that you are in town for medical purposes and to offer you a discount if they do indeed provide one. I liked that hotel because it was quite easy to access the clinic from there.

I am doing good two months out and thanks so much for asking. I eat just about anything I wish but stick to the rules most all of the time. I am losing at what my nut thinks is a good rate of about 2.5 pounds per week. I told her that I thought it should be quicker, she stated that any quicker weight loss would mean loss of muscle mass. Not sure if that is completely correct but it made me feel better...lol.

Is this your first assessment? The first one is the toughest and that mainly is the questionnaire. Don't let it stop you though. Just answer the questions as best you can. A lot of those questions are for program evaluation purposes and they just need the data. You will do great!

I believe this to be worth it and I hear that resounding throughout the boards. I am a huge fan of the sleeve over the ray and would not have ever have had that one. That is me for me.

Please let me know how things go for you ok?
Take care!
