Surgery Date with Dr. Joya...any tips, advice about the experience?
Did a lot of research over the past couple of years on Docs both here in the US and in Mexico, and have chosen Dr. Joya to do my surgery. I am going to have VSG done in April...I know it's a long time off yet, but I like to be as prepared and ready for any hiccups or possible problems as I can be...
Can anyone out there who has gone to Dr. Joya to have WLS, and /or had the VSG, tell me about your experiences? Doctor, Hospital, staff, hotel, what to bring, any problems, food/clears, etc...
Anything you have to tell me would be appreciated.

Hi,
I had the Lap Band with Dr. Joya on October 2, 2009. He was very professional and friendly. His staff made me feel very comfortable and I had no problems with him or the hospital. The one piece of advice I got was to bring a heating pad because your back will hurt after surgery. I did bring mine and it was a life saver. It was the only pain I had and went away within 24 hours.
The nurses don't speak much English but we found a way to communicate just fine. The hospital is small but very clean.
You will be fine and I have no regrets.
