Im not sure why people say you dont need it for 50 or 60 pounds... I have done everything BUT surgery to lose weight... weight watchers' date=' Jenny Craig, nutri system, personal trainer, visalus shakes. I am only 5'5 and have no co-morbites, but every woman in my family is obese to morbidly obese, and for me this is more of a preventative measure. I have no problem eating healthy, but my genetics really suck, and I'm not going to risk going down the road of all the other women in my family. Its not pretty![/quote']

I have a low BMI with 60-70 pounds to lose-BMI 35. I decided I wanted to take a proactive approach by getting sleeved. I'm not judging you or anyone here because I walk next to you all fighting obesity-weight gain after weight gain.

I was sleeved 10/10- awesome experience and I have lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks which is a blessing. Before going to Mexico I did consult US surgeons- they have no problem taking self pays with low BMIs period here but the cost is more than what I could afford. Good luck on your journey. I know you will do well!!

I used Dr. Illan this month and had the ultimate sleeve experience. His team goes above and beyond taking care of you. The hospital and hospital staff was excellent. The only day I was uncomfortable was after surgery from gas otherwise than that a smooth recovery.

Men usually do a lot better than women when it comes to high Protein and low carb diet but each person has a different journey. I don't think it's the Dr. technique but the person's will power to conquer obesity with this tool. I would suggest getting in touch with Omar or Susan and doing a Skype with Dr. Illan. Also Omar had the surgery in April 2013 and as you may know was at goal in 5 months and he looks awesome!!!!

I was sleeved on 10/10 with Dr. Illan. He is a fabulous doctor with a wonderful team. The hospital nurses and staff were all great. He has a support group on Facebook-very secret- go to Baja Bariatrics to join the group-very active.

Dr. Illan's team goes above and beyond. Omar is a rare jewel.

If you want the ultimate Medical Tourist experience go with Dr. Illan's team. They use florence Hospital- no strip mall.- excellent nurses. He has a Facebook support group- go to Baja Bariatrics to join. This group is very active and will answer all of your questions and cheer you on.
