YES! I had surgery 1/18/14 and it has saved my life! I am only 22 yrs old and have been overweight my entire life. Dr. Illan and his team are AMAZING. The hospital is very well equipped and clean. The staff there were on top of everything and so very sweet. Dr. Illan comes to the hotel after your 2 night stay in the hospital to check on your incisions and Omar comes everyday to talk you for broth and a little site seeing if time allows. It was more like a vacation than a surgery! There were others in the hospital that were sleeved by another Dr and they just didn't have the same experience like we did. They had a good surgery but were left to take cabs to visit shopping areas and eat. WE are not left to do so. Our patient coordinator takes care of us before, during and afterwards. We have a FB page and he still is checking in on us after surgery. We are a big family now and I'm so glad I chose Dr. Illan with Baja Bariatrics. Please check out their page or email bajabariatrics@yahoo.com or call 619-623-5368. There is no pressure to have the surgery and they will answer all your questions. you can even skype with Dr. Illan to help ease your mind. I HAVE MY LIFE BACK for the first time. I'm ready to live healthy and start living! LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!! :D

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
