    Great question!

    I am a Director-At-Large at the ASMBS and feel qualified to answer this question :)

    ASMBS is the "Amercian" Society of Bariatric Surgery. Dr. Illan is not an American surgeon and doesn't operate in the states. He is President of the Mexican Society.

    I'm attaching some recent certificates/credentials that aren't posted on the TeamMX site. @Bill Yanezcan explain them more in detail if you're interested.

    Thank you Alex! Out of curiosity, why are there some Mexico surgeons listed on there and some aren't? Do they need to have had training in the US?


  2. I'm currently interested in using Dr. Illan for my surgery, but it was pointed out to me that he is not listed on https://asmbs.org/patients/find-a-provider. Should I be concerned that he is not? I understand he is a weight loss surgeon and not a Bariatric surgeon, but when I look at his credentials it seems he has extensive training in Bariatric surgery, and I'm left confused. Any input is appreciated!
