No I'm a patient of Dr. Illan and have visited him on my visits back to Tijuana. I was sleeved 8/31/13 at Florence Hospital & booked my surgery through this group. No shady here.....

I am booked for Gastric Sleeve July 27. I am seeing so so many people complain of Acid Reflux after surgery. Does everyone get it after the sleeve? I'm concerned about the dangers of long term reflux. Also now all the news about ppi medication reducing life expectancy 25 percent! Shocking news, making me rethink the surgery again.

One of my colleagues had to tie my shoes after we went through security at the Norfolk, VA airport. Since I have Pre-Check, I never had to take off my shoes, but their metal detector was extra sensitive (and I had never flown through that airport), so I had to take them off. And with the winter clothes on, I could reach the laces. Even though Jenn was so kind and sensitive, I was mortified. I got the ball rolling soon after.
And seeing 397 on the scale at the doctor's office was also telling...
