Dr. Illan an NSV my first



Recommended Posts

Okay y'all. ..this is my first and finest NSV. I had my surgery with Dr. Illan on August 12th in Tijuana. I went to my PCP today and he took me completely off my diabetes medicine. I have been type 2 diabetic for 9 yrs. I have never been able to control it a good day for me was 250. The dr. Had told me my kidneys were going to fail if I didn't do something. I already had the numbness on my feet and my fingers. This surgery was my last chance. This surgery. has literally saved my life. Thank you Susan and Omar most of all thank you Dr. Illan.

I have been in full remission since March of '12. It is an awesome feeling (although I will never give up 2x week random tests and A1C tests every 4 months).

My A1C is in the normal range since the surgery and I love it. I do know that I will have to always be careful of the sugar due to the possibility of the diabetes coming back....But I can live with this.... :P

Thank you everyone and yes I have walked around all day with this silly grin on my face. It is definitely an awesome feeling. I know I will always have to watch it and yes I will continue to test also doing my A1C check. It is a small price to pay though. Peace and Blessings everyone.

You will b very well taken care of. The hospital is nice and clean. It is a holistic healing center. The cafeteria is all organic and vegan. Your care will b be very good. Not a lot of English but the point gets across. Omar ur patient coordinator is absolutely awesome he will take primo care of you. The hotel is beautiful. Dr. Illan will answer any of ur questions. You will b checked on by a Dr. While u r n the hotel. I can not say anything bad about my experience. It was really like a mini vacation ...except with major surgery. ..lol

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
