Hello Everyone!

I had RNY last year on 12/12/07.  I have lost 115 pounds so far.  My surgery was done by Dr. Anez in Fairfax, VA. 

My niece is tremendously overweight.  She has no insurance or parental support.  I am looking to find her a surgeon in Mexico (or elsewhere) for the RNY. 

Can someone out there give me the good and the bad?  I need it all.  Prices, bed side manor, accomodations, financial arrangements.  PM if you wish.

I would second Dr Joya.  I was banded by in in Aug.....would do it again in a heartbeat!

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:)  After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great!  Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should.  Now it's my turn to lose this weight!  It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

Dr Joya and his staff were awesome.  Pictures of hospital and hotel on my profile.  Great experience.  PM me with any questions.

Look for Dr. Miguel Herrera he and the hospital are in the process of aplication to be certified as a Center of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery.
He has done more than 1000 laparoscopic gastric bypass.
Have a wonderful journey to a more healthy life!
