Sleeve wut DR Illan and bariatric pal team MX



Recommended Posts

I started out booked but not paid with another company. Once I had verbally committed I could tell that I wasn't a priority to them. I just overall started getting a bad unsure feeling. I stopped and prayed and asked God to guide me and give me peace about doing period, and who would be doing it. About 5 minutes later of reading on different forums I found Bariatric Pal Team MX. I haven't looked back since. From the very beginning "Henry", Bill and Stacey were walking me through everything I needed to do. Henry was there day after day helping me work with the finance company I had chosen. From the moment you step off the plane it will be all about YOU and YOUR care. It truly is a spa like experience. Everyone you come into contact with is a professional. The valets are amazing and your comfort is the #1 priority. I joked that a procedure with the care and service like this would cost 50K in the US, but it's the truth. Everything was first class. FAR cleaner and nicer rooms than any hospital Iv'e been in here. It won't be some overworked nurse with 50 rooms throwing meds at you every couple hours. Every question was answered, Dr Illan even msg me on FB then called just to talk about what would be best for me. This before I even paid a dime. The Bariatric pal team MX support system via forums and FB pages is great. All kinds of testimonials and vast amounts of experience to call on. Plus on top of it all I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and down 36lbs.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
