You can always ask people on here if they've used the Dr you are thinking of using. That way you get some opinions from real people, both good and bad. Good luck to you :)

This may be a really stupid question, but is there somewhere we can see a surgeons stats besides their own website?

If there is, I sure haven't found out! But I think stats are hard to find, even on US based surgeons. I always try to research board complaints on any new doctors I see here in the US but haven't found anything that is similar for Mexico. I'll be looking to see if anyone who's done other research has resources I haven't yet found!

Not a stupid question at all!! I would also like to know the stats on some of these doctors. Most of the feedback I read is always positive but are they actually real people? I've read that some agencies post fictitous comments. Also, the reviews are subjective. I'd love to know all the objective data out there, such as complications, poor technique, etc. I know in the US you can pull up each states licensing board and find out if the doctor had every been sued or had disciplinary actions. Not sure how to find that out in Mexico.

Right. I don't know what's legit and what's not on here. I do take word of mouth into account, but I'd like to see it on paper as well to back it up. I'm worried about going to a clinic instead of a hospital. Mi doctor is technically a clinic. I haven't heard bad things about it, but I'm worried if an accident was to occur, would it be handled efficiently there or not. I'm a worry wart!!!

Sure there may be fictitious patients claiming great things about the dr, but at the same time it would be impossible to not have other patients of the same dr not say something. From what I've seen every dr has very satisfactory reviews. I've never read anything negative (except one). I personally believe the care in MX is way above satisfactory if not excellent. Both in dr/staff professionalism and patient care

I went to a hospital. I had the same concern ad you. So with Dr. Joya I went to Amerimed hospital, I just felt more comfortable having this done in a hospital, and what a hospital the rooms are awesome there more like private suites. All the equipment is top notch (was another concern). I didn't need to worry about it after all. You might want to look him up, a nice clean hospital and a nice Doctor. Best of luck you :)

You would probably have to check on the state home page.

For NJ it is: New Jersey Healthcare Profile at www.njdoctorlist.com. Additional disciplinary information can be obtained by calling (609) 826-7100 or writing to the Board office at P.O. Box 183, Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0183

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
