I used Dr. Illian and his team. I had surgery April 24th. The following days were wonderful due to the valets and their constant attention to my and my companions needs.

Good luck, you will do great and have a new lease on life.

Sorry I haven't. Seems like I heard they weren't bad. But some of the horror stories from other types of surgery would scare me. I'm guessing you have no insurance?

Yeah I have read some horror stories with cosmetic surgery in Mexico, but I haven't heard anything bad about WLS.

I have insurance but they have excluded any weight loss coverage including bariatric surgery.

I live in Beaufort and work in Havelock.

I have been looking into the surgery for a while, but I am going to be self-pay so the cost has been very prohibitive for me. But I have gotten to a point that my health is worth more than money. I have entertained going to Mexico to the Oasis of Hope Hospital with Dr. Illan. Has anyone else used Oasis of Hope and Dr. Illan?
