PEURTO VALLARTA - has anyone gone there for surgery?



Recommended Posts

No one replied to my last thread?!

Looking for experiences from there please dde0a

 

I can't link to it on my phone, but I found a couple threads by searching "Puerto Vallarta"

 

Start there :) Most of us went or are going to TJ or Mexicali so there's not a whole lot of people that can answer this for you! But do the search, there were some good trip descriptions in there!

Hi Rollargirl, I had my surgery in Puerto Vallarta on Oct 20/12 with Dr Lopez and Dr Osuna. I didn't for one minute regret my choice. The hospital is new, big, clean and quiet. The hotel Marriott is amazing, the staff were wonderful. Anakaren that meets you at the airport is a gem. My husband came with me and we stayed 3 extra days. I had no problems after my surgery. If you have any other questions you can im me.

The Amerimed Hospital is Peurto Vallarta is brand new. It's amazing. Your room is more like a suite than a hospital room.

 

I went alone to PV from Canada for surgery. I was completely fine.

Thanks guys! I had asked my friend to get the time off for the cancun dates - but now I want to PV one!!! Don't know if I could handle the stress of waiting another week to find out if se can get it off! Lol ... I've heard the cancun hospital makes u want to run away when u first walk in but upstairs and surgery room are nice ... Oh well .. Ill have to wait and see!

I was also decided on Cancun with Dr. Perez, but the things I've read about the Clinica Victoria have made me begin to look at other options. Dr. Joya is 1050.00 more than Dr. Perez but the hospital looks so much nicer and so I am leaning that way. I am going to do more research though, before I make my final bookings. :-)

YES! I was there on Jan 21st for surgery with Dr Joya. Can't say enough great things about the hospital/staff. I would do it again in a heart beat.

How did everything go with Dr Joya? No complications or complaints?

Who did you end up going with? I'm scheduled with dr joya and wanted to see if you ended up seeing him or not

      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.
