Dr. Illan - I'm 13mo post OP. Super great care and love my tool. I have sent 4 other people after me since I believe in them so much! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Try not to let the emotions get the best of you. I am in Colorado, flying home to Orlando tomorrow with nothing left in the stores to stick up on. I'm praying the track moves more easterly out to the Atlantic as it moves up Florida Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am sorry you had the issues with Dr. Illan's team. Were you reaching out theough BariatricPal and Bill Yanez? My communication was fast, as well as acceptance and booking. Anyhow, good luck! Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

As a patient of Dr. Illan, I'm very glad I went to him. I had other 1st had experience from a couple coworkers. Obviously, you can go to whomever you want. My concern was having the best doctor and hospital care. All the valets were super helpful, staff all spoke English and I had better care than in the good ol' USA. I have no regrets!

Just an FYI that Bill is on vacation but has been responding to some questions on fb. So, not sure how long you've been trying to reach him, but I would expect a slow response while he and his wife are on vacation. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery on MX with Dr. Illan. I had ZERO pain. The nurses were in every hour giving me something. After leaving the hospital, I never used a pain medicine, even though they gave me ketorolac. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

So, at my heaviest, I didn't have issues stuffing my belly into my jeans, but as i lose weight, I seem to have issues with it flopping around. I have jeans that fit but its like i have to stuff the skin into the right spots. Am I alone in this? The jean zip up fine and I dont overflow the top, but its a sruggle to put the fat/skin into the jeans. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am doing that right now. It's frustrating. But I am in process of transitioning from an 18 to 16...but the numbers on the scale haven't moved in almost 2 months. Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a video of my surgery Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I included what my friend refers too as "bro science" and end my shower ice cold. It's supposed to wake up your cells...but it worked. I broke my 5 week stall! Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am just starting to research. I would like to get arms, breast and neck done before my vacation to Hawaii. I started researching and am leaning towards Dr Camacho-Melo and Dr. Cardenas. Has BariatricPal formed any relationships with either of these Dr's?

Did you have to go there for an initial consult? What hospital were you at? How long were you there? Were you at a recovery house? Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app
