Terrific staff! I am from Update: 12 weeks out 53lbs down...still struggling with Water intake and foods...but still trial and error stage right? Hope to hear from you

I had surgery 6/24/14 w/ Dr Joya in Puerto Vallarta & had a great experience. I'm down 33 lbs so far. I did have a bleeding ulcer which happened during surgery but I had acid reflux & inflammation prior to surgery. I am in soft/puréed foods stage & struggle as well. I have issues w/ Protein because I can't digest it well yet & so many things upset my stomach right now. It's a process & I'm trying to make myself eat slowly cuz that's a big learning curve for me. My energy levels are improving but I'm still healing.

Glad you have such amazing reviews of him!

      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.
