I have a friend who got her sleeve done by him and also had nothing but good things to say.

Good luck with your decision.

One thing I didn't know, since I haven't been to Mexico in like 15 years we need passports to get there so now I'm scrambling for expedited pass cards going to the passport agency on Monday.

Hi Catlynk

I'm so glad you chose Dr Illan I have been reading almost every thread on here and have never heard anything but very good things about him. One lady did complain that he was unable to check on her one day in recovery because he had an emergency with another patient! Really??? I think she had nothing to complain about. Speaks well of a doctor that he takes care of patients and doesn't leave that to others.

I'm talking to Dr Illan to decide between a sleeve or RNY due to Gerd I already have.

Let's keep in touch!

Tom

Hi Tom,

I'm a female and have stats similar to yours. I had my surgery with Dr. Illan on the fifth of may and couldn't be happier with his work. I'm excited to start my weight loss journey not be a yo-yo anymore myself. I'm happy to answer any questions you have just private message me if you'd like. Tijuana is fabulous: Stacy,Bill, Robert, Henry, and Juanito have been wonderful. Also, the nurses and other staff are very attentive. They have worked out all of the kinks. Good luck to you!!

Today I was like freaking out a little like am I really going to do this...six weeks from now....it's so good to get confirmation. I feel good about Bariatric Pal Mexico very much.

Isn't it a neat experience?! Has Juanito given you the tour of Chapultepec yet? Make sure you do that if you can fit it in I was amazed at how beautiful that area was. Hope your daughter is doing great in her recovery!

I don't know Juanito. Our coordinator's name is Omar. We went to the coast about 40 minutes away could be what your talking about

I just had surgery with dr.illan last Wednesday! You're gonna do great! I was so skeptical when I went and have been pleasantly surprised! I was never in as much pain as I expected, didn't feel unsafe and my energy level is higher than I thought it would be! You're in great hands!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
