Topic: Dr. Armando Joya recently

I am saving for surgery in Mexico and interested in RNY through Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta

The rate I was quoted by his staff is very good and includes everything except the plane ticket

I've looked on here for info/reviews about him and there are some but they are a few years old

Has anyone had surgery with him recently? Can you describe the process?

The one thing I'm confused about is how do you pay if you're from the US and have USD funds?

Do I carry thousands of dollars with me? DO I have to get a bank check or can I pay with my Debit card.

Hello, I went to Piedras Negras Mexico for my sleeve surgery February 2nd. It was the most amazing experience. I truly felt like family. The nurse coordinator helps answer any questions you may have and help you with everything once you make the decision. Everything has been a blessing and I'm so glad that I chose Dr. A and his team for my sleeve. I highly recommend you look into his team if you are considering the sleeve. You will not regret it. Care by Dr. A and his team upon arrival and all thru your stay is the best, and as well as post op. He is always available if you have any questions or concerns. Check him and his new hospital (OPENING SOON!!) out!!!

Belinda.

P.s. please feel free to ask me about my journey! I am very happy with my recovery so far and my results, I've only weighed one time since surgery. :)

I am considering GBP to DS revision surgery in Mexico. Like you, I also would like more information on this type of revision as well as a highly recommended Dr in Mexico. Please share with me any info you have or get.

How soon are u looking to get your revision done? Have you narrowed it down to when, who and where in Mexico.

Topic: GBP revision to DS

I am looking into having my gastric bypass revised to a DS or Loop DS. Has anyone had that type of revision? Can anyone recommend a good doctor in Mexico, that does this type of revision?

all you have to tell them is you are having a medical procedure, if they even ask.

Topic: ebook for deciding WLS @ Mexico???

Hi everybody!

I have been searching info regarding bariatric doctors in Mexico for my revision surgery, their credentials, prices, customer experience, and noticed there is a lot of sketchy information out there...

So I'm considering developing an ebook ($50 aprox) that elaborates on top bariatric doctors, credentials, validated surgery numbers, experience, hospitals and their certifications, health concerns, red flags, tips, Health Secretary, Police and news info concerning doctors-hospitals, insurance, etc.

Do you guys think that someone looking for bariatric surgery might purchase it?

What other info do you think is important?
