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?

You may also try searching "Dr. Fraijo" (same person - Mexicans have many surnames) here and on obesityhelp.com

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
