My surgery on November 7 with Dr Illan and Bariatric Pal Team



Recommended Posts

I have been overweight for sometime and everyone in my hometown is getting gastric sleeve. My daughter cheers for high school and every Friday night another person would have had it done, I was finished, I told my husband. He said whatever, I called the insurance company and they wouldn't pay. So I started looking for cash options 10,500 is lowest I found one night in hospital. Really. So I had read Bariatric Pal forums before and started looking for Drs. I researched, I bet I have read everyone's story. I picked Dr. Illan and his group. I believe, I called October 12 sent deposit and scheduled for November 7. I called Bill the coordinator so many times with questions. But every time I called I never got a answer machine He or Henry answered. My pre- diet was explained to me, I was picked up by Stacy the NUT. Then off to the hospital, yes I was nervous, I did go alone. But these people knew I was and calmed me down and was great. They even found someone that had surgery the day before to ease my nerves to talk to me. She was great. I had test best surgery and met Dr. Illan wonderful Dr. Then after surgery was a little rough nothing can't handle nurses was awesome ring call bell there within 1 minute or less. You are never alone. There is a vallet or helper there also beside nurse, they are wonderful. There is a doctor in the hospital 24 hours a day. The care you get is unbelievable. You will be up moving night of surgery, it will help with gas. Then when Wednesday roles around you move to the hotel. You graduate, you are a little tired. You are not turned loose. You still have a vallet to show you around and where to eat and he is very nice. The hotel has a restaurant and a casino. It is a nice hotel. Believe me they take care of you every step. They only thing I regret is not flying home first class, my back hurt. I would have paid it. Everyone is like you went to Mexico by yourself, Yes I did. I would go back in a heartbeat to THIS group of people again because they treat you special. Thank you Bariatric Pal

My fiancée just had the sleeve with Dr. Illan in Oct. I found Dr. Illan on here too. I'm soooooooooooo happy that I decided he should go thru BP Mexico because the treatment was stellar compared to a few other places who put you on the plane the day of DISCHARGE from the hospital! He loved visiting MX too btw!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
