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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
