    ALM or Mexico Bariatric Center?

    I choose Bariatric Pal Team MX and Dr. Illan. I can only recommend them because that is who I used and all my friends used. Please talk to Bill before you book and give them a chance. I loved everything about them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  4. @@Moorefamily0214, I have been in your shoes and let me just say it was the best decision I have ever made. TJ Mexico is safer than any large Us city I have ever been in. It is more like an extension of CA than some foreign country. Please email me at chasitylane34@yahoo.com. I will give you my number and you can call me. I would hate for you to miss out on what I have experienced. Please contact me! Sincerely, Sleeved 3/8 and 80 lbs down!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Choosing a Surgeon

    I chose Dr. Illan and was sleeved on 3/8. I can not recommend anyone but him. I had a ton of preop and post op support. My friend was sleeved in the US and doesn't have access to her doctor directly. I have access to my doctor and my nutritionist at anytime, by phone, email, or Skype. My friend also didn't have any post op with her nutritionist. She was sleeved at Baptist hospital in Little Rock, AR and comes to me for help. I highly recommend my doctor in TJ Mexico. It was the easiest recovery time of any surgery I have ever had. I too had a problem with carbs but now... I just can't eat them. They make me overly full and my weight loss stops. I had a sweet tooth but now I can't take more than one small spoonful of anything sweet because it makes me feel awful. Please please please talk to Bill at Bariatric Pal. You will not be disappointed. I also had a friend that used Dr. Q. She had a good experience but she now wished she would have went with me. Her post op support has stopped and she has to research for answers. I know nothing personally about Dr. Q just a friends experience. Please feel free to email me with questions. I would love to help. chasitylane34@yahoo.com Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Loving my sleeve!

    Honestly it is the easiest process. I went threw Bariatric Pal Team MX. If you will email me I will send you a contact number for my friend Bill that they can talk to. Or they can email me either way. All paperwork is done up front. Medical history etc. They determine if your a good candidate. You pay your deposit and book your flight. They take care of your lodging, transportation, surgery, etc! You do all your blood work and speak to the internal med. doctor before your surgery. They do X-rays etc. just like they do in the US. I actually have friends that had the surgery in the US and didn't have as good of an experience as I did. My incisions are super small and I was on my feet that afternoon. No groggy meds! I loved everything about it. It was the easiest surgery I have ever had. Your companion is also taken care of while your in the hospital. Bariatric Pal makes sure both of you have what you need during your 4 night 5 day stay. I went the day before my surgery and I have to say that was a super smart decision on my part. Anyway.. If you or your friends have specific questions please email me at chasitylane34@yahoo.com. I can give contact information for Bariatric Pal team MX. It's a lot to type in one small space but I love my sleeve and it's the best decision I have ever made Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    B1 (Thiamine) Deficiencies

    B1 shots right here!!! Lord have mercy! I lost feeling in my arms and my legs. I didn't know what what going on. I could eat Protein but I couldn't eat carbs. Nothing with any carbs would stay down. Made me so sick. My eyes started acting funny kinda like the muscles wouldn't move fast enough. I went in the hospital a month ago today. My blood work came back good last week but looks like shots once a month. It was soooo scary Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Loving my sleeve!

    That's wonderful! I can't believe I didn't make the decision earlier in my life. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  9. Just wanted to take a moment and share a little bit of my journey with everyone. I was sleeved in TJ Mexico by Dr. Illan on 03/08/016. I loved everything about choosing my surgery in Mexico. It was more like a vacation! I am 79 lbs down! Went from a 26/28 pants that where tight down to a 20 that is falling off of me. My shirts were a 4X and now they are a XL. Sometimes I find myself not doing what I should and the scale stops moving. It is just a reminder to get back on track. Everyone told me not to do the surgery because it was the "easy way out". If this is easy I hate to see what they called hard! You have to want a change to see a change. You have to work for every pound and hold yourself accountable for every bite that enters your body. I love my online support and knowing my doctor is just a phone call away. Thank you Dr. Illan for giving me this tool and thanks to Stacy at Bariatric Pal for helping me make it work for me. Got 77 more lbs to go but it's all down hill from here! Best decision I have ever made. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We had a wonderful experience. Like a vacation. I would love to answer both of your questions. It was the best experience ever. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
