Armando Joya
"I felt that Dr. Joya was very nice. He had a nice, warm smile and vibe about him. He is very quiet but seems very competent. I didn't have as much interaction with him as I would have liked, being that he was my surgeon. rnrnHis staff were all really nice. They all spoke English well. Some of the hospital staff didn't speak much English, so that was a bit difficult. rnrnHe spoke to me for a little while before my surgery..explaining the surgery, risks, etc. He never spoke of aftercare or anything else really. He left that for his assistant to tell me about. rnrnI did have a complication - an accidental lacerated liver due to its size. It was fixed properly, I think. However, I don't feel I received enough care afterward because of this. I was really scared but none of the doctors talked to me about it afterward. They only told my husband what had happened..but after that, nothing was ever said again - until I got an additional bill for all the extra care.rnrnNow that I've had time to reflect, I am glad that I went to Dr. Joya. I have my Sleeve and recovering well. rnrnThank you, Dr. Joya....and your staff. You have changed my life!rnrnrn "

Cornerstone Hospital
"Everyone was extremely nice and polite. The hospital was very clean and smelled nice. There was a language barrier between myself and some of the staff, but it was a foreign country to me and was expected. It only cause minimal problems."

Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate, Apple Ecstasy

"This was my first taste of the Syntrax line of bariatric products. I mixed the Apple with water, added ice, and tasted. It was awesome. I was amazed. I was expecting a bitter taste or something equally awful. It was none of those. I had planned on mixing it with something else, like crystal light, but I didn't need to. It was so nice and refreshing, not strong or too-sweet. I got this as a free sample and I plan on buying it soon. Yummy, if you like green apples."

Pro Performance® 100% Whey Protein- Chocolate Supreme
"I purchased a small bag of this protein powder to see how it would taste, etc. I was pleasantly surprised. 21 g protein per scoop, unflavored. It mixes really easily in whatever I have tried. It's a great way to get extra protein in your "foods". I use this to make my protein coffee every morning...yummy. You can't even taste the extra powder that was mixed in with it. Great1"
