  1. Thank you for sharing your journey Alex. I am glad you were able to get help and resolve the complications, that must’ve been horrifying to experience. I did not realize you literally were a patient of Dr Jilal Illan. Thanks again for all the knowledge and experience share. It was invaluable!
  2. I have! I actually just saw my PCP today and he said he has multiple patients that come back fine but also have had a few with complications. He says he does not recommend solely because of how doctors won’t want to treat me for complications due to fear of liability. He said to really do my research and make sure its good qualified doctor and facility. I also stated I am relatively healthy, have handled other surgeries (lipo) recovery well no complications. So I have confidence in my own body to recover post-op and he agreed that does factor in my overall risk tolerance. All in all, I found this community very helpful in my research process and truly appreciate your feedback as well.
  3. That is reassuring thank you! Is Dr Francisco Gonzalez on the naughty list or am I in good hands? I also worry about after care as my PCP warned me doctors wont want to touch me in US because they are afraid of a lawsuit.
  4. Wow Alex, thank you for the feedback. I’m sorry that had happened to you. Do you know if Oasis of Hope Bariatrics is a good option then? any info helps, thank you
  5. i am Nov 17th at Oasis of Hope! Still very nervous and unsure tbh, wondering if maybe I should switch. Where are you scheduled?
  6. Hi everyone, I have scheduled with Dr Gonzalez at Oasis of Hope in Nov for gastric sleeve but I am not finding info online of him at all other than Oasis of Hope website. Feeling nervous and hoping to learn as much about anyone else's experience with Oasis of Hope Bariatrics as possible. Also have seen lots of good reviews by members about Dr Jalil Illan at HospitalBC. Now I am considering should I switch? I was able to find him on https://conacem.org.mx/ but not able to find Dr Francisco Gonzalez from Oasis of Hope. If you have any resources to assist with research, I would truly appreciate thank you!
