Dr. Joya or Dr. Hidalgo
Just an update that I am most likely going to go with Dr. Hidalgo. Also, I had been researching Dr. Alejandro Lopez last week and got a follow up call today from their coordinator. She became slightly derisive about Dr. Hidalgo then did her sales pitch about how Dr. Lopez was a much better surgeon with better facilities (but I think she thinks he is in a different hospital), and is just better all around, and that his wife is also a bariatric surgeon, etc.
I am looking at Dr. Juan Francisco Hidalgo too, I can't find much info or reviews on him. He does gastric bypass and most surgeons in Mexico only do the sleeve. I don't want the sleeve because all it does is restrict food. I need the malabsorbent connection too as I have about 165 pounds to lose. Please let me know how it went with dr. Hidalgo

Hubby had a VSG with Dr. Joya 3 years along. He has done fabulous. The hotel, hospital and services provided were top notch. We chose Dr. Joya because we personally know previous patients of his who had done so well and gave him stellar recommendations. We were flying from NL, Canada - so it was much easier for us to fly to PV, rather than to San Diego and have to be picked up and across the border. I am an Emergency Room RN of 34 yrs. That doesn't make me special - but it did make me very much aware of all the aspects of my husband's experience. I don't have any negative thoughts about it. We did go to PV one day earlier one earlier than the plan stated. As it was a long journey from NL - it gave us a day to relax and unwind and explore the area surrounding and in the resort. I think the extra night at the sunset plaza was around $100 USD. Well worth it. Good luck to you!
Hi! I had a great experience with Dr. Hidalgo. I was sleeved 8/12. I have been vlogging about it. My VSG Confessional
