Anyone want to add any info on Dr. Illan that they would like to share? I'm looking into possibly having my surgery with him. It will more than likely be him or Dr. Garcia. I thought I had my mind made up but then I was messaged about Dr. Illan having the special on the gastric sleeve, and I'm struggling to come up with the money. Any little bit helps, right??? I just feel like I'm going back to square one with the researching yet once again.

I did TONS of research too and had it down to Dr. Kelly and Dr. Illan (Illan was Kelly's assistant surgeon for years and a highly respected surgeon in his own right). I also knew I wanted to have the procedure at Florence rather than Mi Doctor and stay at the Lucerna. Then the folks here started the summer special with Illan and that sealed it for me. My surgery is July 13th and I'd be happy to share my experience with you when I get back. What date range are you looking at?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! I posted all about my trip back in March. I have not had ANY issues and would pick him again in a heartbeat! My husband will be going to him soon! Trust me he didn't even like the idea of me going to MX for surgery so this is BIG LOL!!

Are you looking for specific info? There are several of us that are his patients that post here periodically. Don't hesitate to ask or PM, if you are looking for more information!

I am a huge fan of Dr. Illan and his coordinator, Omar. I had my surgery at the end of March and couldn't be happier with my results. I'm down 50 lbs, went from a 40 BMI to a 34 BMI, have lost approx 10 inches in my waist and 8 in my hips. I've lost over 50% of my excess body weight...not bad for 94 days post-op! Dr. Illan made me feel like I was his first priority, from the time I first contacted him, until I left TJ. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat...and am currently trying to convince my sister to see him for the sleeve.
