I have not been on this forum for a while, have been really busy getting ready for my surgery and now I'm here in beautiful Tijuana and it's done. I want to tell everyone how wonderful the whole team of Baja bariatrics have been to me. Florence hospital care was supreme, the facility is nice and the nurses here are so attentive and kind. The surgical team is superb and Omar Lliles Acosta who is the coordinator for Dr Illan makes sure of it. His number one priority is patient care and maintaining there record of zero complications. I came alone and he was there right by my side when I awoke. After the surgery when you are released from the hospital, he will take you to the amazingly beautiful Hotel Lucerna ! Omar will make sure you have broth, Gatorade, water and anything else you might need and he will take you sight seeing and shopping for souvenirs as well. This is something that you truly do not get with other companies. Dr Illan is an amazing surgeon, I had a lot of scar tissue from a previous surgery and he was totally prepared to handle that. Because he is also a well experienced trauma surgeon, that made me feel secure knowing he could handle my situation with ease. I did months and months of research and I know without a doubt that I made the right decision to choose not just this Dr but this team at Baja Bariatrics. If any one is considering surgery I encourage you to check them out, you can go to their web site and join the Facebook group of Team Illan. The support I received from his patients/ fellow sleevers is like none other. We are like a family and continue in our support for new patients and those who are considering having there surgery done here in Tijuana MX. If any one has a question, feel free to send me a message and I will do my best to reply.

So happy for you! Love, love, love Dr. Illan and his team

Congratulations on your surgery!!! I have been looking in to Dr Illan as a second option in case my insurance denies me. It is so great to see another positive story about him and his staff. I feel very confident in having Dr Illan as my Plan B

BeeLee37, just wanted to say, you won't regret it!

It is EXACTLY as she said!! Wonderful experience! I only wished I would've done this sooner!

He is going to be my doctor - I was supposed to be sleeved almost a month ago (oh boy I wish I had done it already) but now I have to reschedule - cannot wait to get this over and done with. Heard NOTHING but great things and you're right Omar is wonderful !!

Thanks for posting your experience. It is posts like these that help others decide in choosing a doctor. I have had my mind made up for months about using Dr. Fernando Garcia but as time passes I keep reading these good things about Dr. Illan. Im confused! But good to know there are some good options in Mexico. As soon as I get that tax refund I will be booking surgery. Cant wait!
