Hi. I chose Mexico because my insurance doesnt cover it. Its 1/3 the price in Mexico. I did a lot of research before making that decision. I chose Dr.Joya after much research also. Scary but praying this is the right decision

Hi Jaclyn: I wish you all the very best in your upcoming surgery...I too, was going to go to Mexico(with a differnt surgeon) After I did my due diligence and lots of research on the surgeon...I decided to find someone in the USA. I have lousy insurance however,it took me nine months and going through the process before the surgery was done....I had to see several doctors....i.e:) a primary care physician,a pumonoligist,an endoscopy,a colonoscopy,a cardiologist,a psychiatrist and a nutrisionist...and monthly visits with the primary care doctor and pre surgery weight loss and afew meetings with the surgeon. I was so glad to have found this surgeon and his way of managing the bariatric process,At times, I felt upset and frustrated since I wanted the VSG immediately....it took time and thinking it through.....and, for me....it was the only way to reach my goal....in a safe manner... And now, I have lost a little over 100 pounds(surgery was in July)...I am happy that I made the decision to find a program that was comprehensive in nature.....for me, I almost went to Mexico and that would not have been the right thing to do. Since you live in Florida....I understand that there is a great bariatric center at the large Miami teaching hospital ? Have you explored their program or others like it ? Stay well and wishing you every success........all the best for a joyous and Happy and Healthy New Year......:)

I couldn't fight my insurance. I have no secondary conditions and have only 80-90 pounds to lose. Please don't judge my decision to have surgery. didn't make it lightly. I think most people would think im crazy to have surgery with so "little" to lose.

      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?
