Dr. Joya has been doing Bariatric surgery for the last 10 years, he has done my surgery, and is the true leader in Laparoscopic Bypass surgeries as well as the Inamed Lapband System. With over 500 RnY surgeries performed he is ranked by the Mexican Bariatric Association as having performed more laparoscopic RNY Bypass surgeries than any other Mexican Doctor. And with more than 1500 lapband surgeries performed, he is one of the top 3 lapband surgeons in Mexico. Dr. Joya is a Gastroenterologist, in other words a stomach specialist and Bariatric surgeon. Not just any doctor qualifies for this and with training in the United States he guarantees the patient an INAMED lapband. This is important because once you get back to the states most doctors will not work on any other band. One final note, Dr. Joya has a network of more than 50 doctors to assist you post op for your lapband surgery. Don't go to Tijuan a and use a substandard hospital, come to Puerto Vallarta and enjoy not only the beach, but two of Mexico's finest and state of the art hospitals.

He has new prices! here they are listed below!

Lapband Surgery - ALL INCLUSIVE INCLUDING AIRPLANE TICKETS, SURGERY, TESTS, TRANSPORTATION, A REAL HOSPITAL AND HOTEL costs only $8000 us. NO HIDDEN FEES.

Laparoscopic RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery - ALL INCLUSIVE INCLUDING AIRPLANE TICKETS, SURGERY, TESTS, TRANSPORTATION, A REAL HOSPITAL AND HOTEL costs only $12,000 us. NO HIDDEN FEES.

Don't get tricked into going to Tijuana for substandard care, come to Mexico's Riviera, come to my favorite Mexican doctor, and have your surgery in a real hospital by one of Mexico's best doctors.

Very truly yours,

If I respond to your post within the next 20 minutes, do I get a free refrigerator magnet?

hehe .. while I probably shouldn't laugh, after reading through the entire posting history for this one, I reckon that was definitely called for :)

Yeah.... I would have to agree. I read the posts too. hmmm....

I'm sure Dr. Joya is a very good Dr.... but.... The salesman pitches are kind of discrediting.

Jaxson -

I am sure that you love your doc and want everyone to know - but there comes a point at which we all just tune it out.

Around here, a little bit of doc enthusiasm goes a long way and at this point you are no longer helping Doc Joya - you are just taking up board space.

Sorry you think we are jerks - but I think that folks were just trying to tell you to lay off.

Some things to remember about being a member of LBT.

When we all joined,there are rules and guidelines we all agreed to follow. One of them is to show respect for other members. This thread alone is going against that guideline. Everyone has a right to express their opinion. Everyone has a right to either agree or disagree with that opinion but NO ONE has a right to resort to name calling.

On LBT everyone is entitled to their opinion on any particular doctor good, bad or otherwise. Where the line is drawn is when it becomes an advertisement for that doctor.

There have been several posts with this type of wording and LBT is not the place to advertise for one specific doctor, group, or entity PERIOD!

This website will not be used as an advertisement tool for or against a specific, doctor, group, entity, surgery, etc.

There is nothing wrong with supporting, reporting, or suggesting using a particular doctor, group, entity, etc. When you list the prices that is where it gets dicey not only for LBT but for the doctor. In the future just make a suggestion of contacting them directly to get pricing.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
