I continue to have ulcers and take medication daily to keep the pain down.
Dr. Jalil remove ulcerative tissue but there is something fundamentally wrong with the ulcers returning

I have the mini and have been stable for 2 years. My weight stays between 134 and 138 based on Water, Fiber and calorie intake. I gain if I don’t get enough calories. I pretty must eat anything in small quantities. eggs, beef, chicken, salmon,tuna, veggies, some fruits, Protein Pasta, occasionally Protein Shakes or bars. I am 5’6” and my high weight was 269.

I am a sleeve to MGB. I don’t have reflux but suffer from ulcers. I am below my target weight. I did have bile reflux like you with the sleeve. That is the worst. Who did your surgery?

Let us know how you come out of your test.

I am below my goal by 5 lbs. Smaller than even in high school. I feel great and if I ask Dr. Illan a question he always answers.

Dr. Illan will be performing my own MGB in 7 days!

My high weight was 269. I had the sleeve that cause my reflux to get worse and I could not lose any weight. Since The mini gastric bypass I am down to 163 my lowest weight since high school long ago. I fit into a size 10 business suit today and just about cried. They left photo was taken right before my revision surgery and the right one last week.

Looks like they should at least had a hematologist and GI consult with you. I have an enlarged spleen from a genetic problem that causes my blood cells to break down quickly. When that happens the spleen cleans up the material left behind. A normal person's spleen handles this because the cells die at a normal rate. The spleen acts as a filter so when it becomes enlarged there usually is a reason. Your PCP should take this more serious.

Hi All
Here's a brief update of my Sleeve to MGB progress. The before pic was taken in the hospital after my revision. I was 247 pounds then. The pic on the right was taken today. I weigh 187 pounds. I've lost 60 pounds since my surgery(02/10/17) and 66lbs since my pre-op diet. I think my weight loss is pretty good for a revision patient and I'm on track to finally reach my weight loss goal. I'm so happy that I got my sleeve revised!

It needs to factor in exercise daily totals. I like everything listed above. Also able to connect with other users.

I had terrible reflux with the sleeve and unsatisfactory weight loss. Sind my MGB with Dr. Illan I am losing and no more reflux.

Dr. Illan is my surgeon and now friend. He is so skilled and shows such compassion for his patients. He operates at Oasis Hospital a full service facility. His services can be booked by contacting Bill Yanez at bill@bariatricpal.com

Just wanted to post and say... I DID IT!!!! I am officially sleeved. It feels so surreal like my mind still hasn't registered that I'm here and it's done. Recovery is going AMAZING. No gas pain besides really slight discomfort in my shoulders (which feels better than the acid reflux. Slight discomfort in one area but it's manageable. The staff are amazing!!! I had a hiatal hernia (which I suspected but it hadn't been confirmed until the endoscopy was done yesterday so doctor repaired that while he did the sleeve. I woke easily from anesthesia and have been awake since. There are 4 of us here and out of the 3 of us who had surgery my recovery has been the easiest and fastest. For those second surgery in Mexico DON'T... the care has been nothing short of the best I've had ever. For those second guessing having surgery... DON'T!!! I do not regret a thing!!

This is the best group of individuals. You are their jobs. They all love their jobs too. Please be generous with tipping they desire it.
Anytime I left my room a valet was there to walk with me. When you get to the hotel there is a valet for you there.

I have to go low carb 10 days before surgery. July 28th with Dr iIlan.

The surgeon applies to be a member of the AMBS. I think it misleads people into thinking some board or committee elected the member on their merits.
i think the comments made by the patients of Dr. Illan speak better than a member of the AMBS.

When they receive your medical history and you pay your surgery amount you can decide when you want surgery. Depepending on your BMI would determine the length of you pre-op diet. If I had paid immediately I still had a 10 day pre-op. With BariatricPal you have a year to complete paying for your surgery. You do have to have completely paid before your surgery date. This is how it relates to BariatricPal. I am sure all the TJ Baritastic centers are similar. Hope this give an idea.

That poor child. How tragic to lose her mother like that.
