HI LISA i was supposed to have my surgery with Dr Joya on 6/13 but I ended up in the hospital mid april for 5 days with a toxic cellulitis in my thigh and had to have surgery. Was on antibiotics for three weeks and 1 week after finishing antibiotics, ended up with a urinary tract infection. My primary Dr stated that he felt the sleeve surgery should be put off for a little bit until my body healed a little more and was not so immunocompromised, So-------- I am now planning to have it the end of august or beginning of sept. It is good to see that someone else is going to Dr Joya. Most everyone on this forum has gone to TJ etc. Would luv to be friends so we can give each other support during both of our adventures in PV and afterwards. Send me an email at sls362@comcast.net to let me know

Hope to hear from u soon------------------- Sandi

Dr Joya was my first choice! But after more thought, I went with Dr Kelly because he is closer for me to access. Even Dr Kelly said Joya was a fine surgeon, and that they are old friends. Im glad some ppl are going there too!

Hi Sandy, I am so glad to hear that about Dr.Joya as you stated most here go to Tijuana. He is more expensive then Tijuana but closer and more convenient for me travel wise as my husband and my two stepsons are coming and staying at a resort

Lisa--

I will be traveling by myself when I go. I have to see a hemetologist to see if there is a problem with my immune system before I get the surgery. I have done the bloodwork and I will see the dr in 1 wk when test results r back. Once I know that I can reschedule the surgery. Hopefully still for end of Aug or beginning of sept

It was good to hear from u

also sleeve guru--- thank u for your info about Dr Joya It is good to hear from someone about him. Do not get muxh on the forum about him--- sandi

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
