"Dr Joya was very kind and professional. His staff was very attentive and caring and answered my concerns and questions fully. I traveled to Mexico and had surgery with a doctor I had not met in person prior ... this requires a great deal of research and trust. I don't know that this route is a good choice for all people... you are way outside of your comfort zone and control but for me it was a good choice.rnAftercare is more complicate because of distance so it is important to have a team in place athome. My pcp was very supportive and agreed to monitor my after care. I also have a gastroenterologist that I saw before and have seen since to have a dialation. Dr. Joya suggested an endoscopy when I emailed him regarding concerns I had about vomiting. He was right on... I had a stricture and needed to be dialated. I suggest you find local support groups or online connections to stay in touch with other postops... this is a BIG journey and not one I wouldwant to take alone. I have three friends that I can talk with that had the surgery before me. I'm going to a local support group but it is a daily struggle to eat and drink enough and get in the vitamins!"
