Another fan of Team Illan

I just got back from Baja California from having my lap band removed and getting a gastric sleeve revision. I have to tell you that I was a little scared to go to another country to have surgery (at one point terrified actually), but I had talked to a lot of people who'd been to this particular team. I could find no complaints, whatsoever, about the doctor, the assistant doctor, the anesthesiologist, or the hospital. I had a very good preliminary discussion with the doctor regarding my particular situation (which was problematic to be sure). He happily reviewed my CT images of the slipped band (and also had his radiology department consult) and addressed my concerns. I have to tell you that I am beyond pleased with the care I received while there. If you are considering going to Mexico, and you're just not sure, IM me, and I will provide my phone number so you can ask me any specific questions. I'll sum it up here. I recommend Dr. Illan and his team without hesitation.

I'm glad everything is going well for you! Do I remember you from LBT? If so, how are you doing?

You might. I did have an account, but I left when I had just had enough from people who are emotionally unhealthy. I see that there are still people who like to unload on others here, so I won't frequent this site. I just wanted to share my experience in case someone really needs help. I really needed help, and Dr. Illan and his team really saved me from the complications of a rather severe lap band slip. I am so lucky I found them.
