Dr. Joya - Good and Bad - I need info about this dr. please

Can anyone give me a little insite on Dr. Joya and your experience with him in Mexico? I want the good and the bad - if there is any.  I have my surgery scheduled with him Dec. 17th 2010 .

I have never heard anything negative about this doc.  I know there are several people on the VSG board that have used him so maybe post this over there.  This board has become so negative that not very many people even come here so that is probably why no one has responded.  Wishing you ALL the best...the sleeve is AWESOME!!

Thank you very much.  I will try the VSG board.

I've not heard anything bad either :) best wishes on your sleeve :)

Put his name in the search engine at the top right. That will pull up all of the posts with his name in it. Good luck!

yes and put his name in google.

Hi,
I had my VSG last November with Dr Joya.  I am thrilled with the results and all went well with my surgery and post op care while in PV.   I have been going to my GP back here in Canada for follow up blood work monitoring (at 3 and 6 months).  You are in good hands and he and his staff will take good care of you.  

The only useful tip I can ever think of is to get your prescriptions from him the day of you consultation with him and then have them filled prior to your surgery.  Not that it is difficult, but you may have to go to more than one pharmacy to get them all filled so it just takes one thing off your plate once the surgery is done.  Best of luck to you.

 Aha Good advice!  

I had VSG done on April 28th and have nothing but good things to say.  I would go back again as they took excellent care of me and I have had no problems what so ever.  There are several people on here that have used Dr Joya or are going to him soon.  Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
