  • So far waiting for my surgery, they took blood, I peed in a cup, I have my IV. The clinic is small but very efficient. Everyone is so nice.

  • Anyone interested in having surgery, this is the best place, hands down. Everything is NEW! It is right next to the plastic surgeon, Dr. Victor Gutierrez, and I hear he is the best plastic surgeon

Scary.

Who in the world is doing it at this price?

On the site, it says that Dr. Illan is one of the doctors doing it at this price.  I've seen several posts about this doctor with good reviews.  Not sure myself but it does seem a little too good to be true.

What is the website?? I would definitely trust Dr. Illan...

I called today, and they sent me the information.  Everything seems to be legit.  I've been researching, and I haven't found anything bad about the doctors.  If everything goes well, I think I am going to schedule with them.  I'll keep posting…...

Thanks everyone...

I have heard great things about Dr. Illan.  

Is this a complete package? Like does it come with hotel stay?

Thanks!  That's the information I received as well.  I asked one of their coordinators about the "too good to be true" price, and he said that it's due to the marketing strategy of the brand new surgical center.  The price might not stay for long.

I have attempted to reach the contact I had by email with not much luck.  I reckon I should call at this point.  I get uneasy when I am emailing a coordinator and they don't answer within at least 24 hours.

Thanks

Hey! I just found out that Dr. Jalil won't be in the team….apparently some issues with his patient facilitator.  Does anybody know doctor Maytorena?  he is the other doctor…… I am reading his credential and seems to be very experienced, but not sure.  

anybody has had surgery with him???

Hi everyone,

 

I joined this forum last week.  Now that I have decided to go this route and end my weight problems, I have seriously started doing my homework.  I don't have that much money and insurance is a real pain.  I opted to go to Mexico since it's one of the top countries with successful bariatric surgery procedures.  It seems that Tijuana has top bariatric surgeons and their prices are nothing compared to the US.  Now I just need to know more about Dr. Maytorena. Does anybody know him?

 

Thank you,

I got that in an email. I am kind of bummed about it. The idea of being able to have surgery with Dr. Illan for less money was appealing. Such is life.
