COnsider using Dr. Joya he was MY Doctor and was great!

Jaxson_Lee · September 1, 2005

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,

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.

And you guys are just jerks. I am trying my best to support my doctor and you all act liek kids. Get over yourselves.

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.

I will go one better than just telling him to lay off.... leave!!! If we are such children and you don't want to play with us, then just take your damn ball and go home!

... then just take your damn ball and go home!

Um, I believe that should be plural Jenna.

(hee-hee, couldn't resist)

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.
