thank you dr. illan

Thanks to Dr Illan for giving me my life back. I am three months out and I am 25 pounds from goal. I have lost over 60 pounds. The doctor, hospital and especially his support staff were wonderful. They still answer any questions I may have with a quick response. The facebook page of his past patients is inspirational and supportive. I am so happy I made the decision to go with this doctor.

    I reached my goal range in 4.5 months and have been maintaining for 5 months.

    I was very happy with my experience with Dr. Illan in November 2013. Every $500 -$1000 is important to me and gives me pause, so I was paying special attention to the practices that charged under $5K as I worked to select my surgeon. Everything about my experience exceeded my expectations and (not that I don't enjoy foreign travel) I was never left alone to have to figure out how to get from point A to Point B or to pause to think about the safety of a neighborhood, how much to tip a taxi driver, or where I could go to buy my brand of shampoo or other forgotten item.

    Besides having a normal/healthy BMI now, my blood pressure and cholesterol have been in the normal range for 8 months. I had my children late in life and --with them all being under 13-- this is even more important to me than feeling more attractive & slim.

    I received scrupulous care in Mexico and will be supporting another loved one surrounding surgery with Dr. Illan soon.

    Best wishes to all sleevers & sleevers to be-- it's a wonderful & effective tool for reclaiming your life and a way to push "re-set" on so many health issues that have plagued the majority of us!

    Hoping he is. My surgery went extremely well. The hospital was excellent. Thanks to his support staff felt safe and never uncomfortable. Would not hesitate to do it again. Feeling blessed

    Hoping the coordinator is still with Dr. Illan. It was great to have every detail handled. No worries traveling in Mexico.
