I'm new here and want to have revision surgery from band to sleeve at the end of the month. I'm trying to decide between Dr. Garcia and Dr. Illan. Would anyone be willing to share their thoughts about th, as well as your results so far? Thank you.

I had my sleeve done by Dr. Illan and love him! I received excellent care from him and his team. I've posted several reviews about my experience and thoughts. Feel free to ask if you're looking for specific information!

As for results, I'm 13 weeks post-op and have lost a little over 50 lbs. I'm averaging almost 4 lbs a week. I stopped my high blood pressure meds within a couple of weeks of surgery. I've lost approx 10 inches in my waist and 8 in my hips and 3 pant sizes. I'm down 54% of my total excess body weight.

they are both excellent , but Dr Illian is about 700 cheaper, that could pay your air fare maybe your companion if you have one. I had Dr Illian April 10 down about 55 lbs, no issue

I had a revision with Dr Garcia and he is an amazingly skilled surgeon and I would highly recommend him. He has performed thousands of surgeries and I found him to be highly skilled in revisions I have had absolutely no issues. Well worth any price that he charges.
