I am new here and was banded by Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta on 4/14. I began looking into this several years ago in Europe and chose Dr. Joya based on what I heard from other professionals. I am an ARNP, and have been a nurse for 33 years, in fact I used to work on the bariatric sugery unit at Tampa General in FL. The hospital in PV was immaculate and the care was top notch in everyway. The total cost was $8000, which included the airfare from the Springfield airport, being picked up at the airport, overnight in the hospital and another night in a 5 star resort right on the beach.
I am feeling great, have lost 14 lbs, but am interested in finding a fill doctor in the four state area as I live in the Joplin - Springfield area. I have lifetime free fills by Dr. Joya, but if I can find someone in the area cheaper than the airfare back to PV, it would be awsome.
