Any August sleevers considering Mexico ?



Recommended Posts

Hi ,

Just wanting to see how many people are going to Mexico to get sleeved. I've been reading a lot of great reviews about Mexico. As a self pay patient I am considering getting mine done in Mexico.

Hi! I am getting my surgery done in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Jalil Illan. I've heard nothing but amazing reviews from his patients and I recently met with him via FaceTime. He is so incredibly nice and makes you feel very comfortable. I've been looking into Bariatric surgery for a few years now and have gone through two different doctors in California and I must say that Dr. Illan has made me feel most at ease, confident and not at all worried. I would definitely recommend you looking into him as a surgeon!

Yes I have heard so much good reviews regarding Dr. Illan. If I do decide to go to Mexico he will be my first choice.

I'm considering booking with Dr Ortiz with ALM in August. Any input? He seems to be very highly rated also :)

I'm considering getting surgery done in Mexico. I have insurance that would pay for it if I had a year of proof that I have been on a diet and on an workout program under a doctors care. I don't have that.

It sounds like getting surgery in Mexico is great! I just am afraid of getting scammed. But I'm ready to take the plung!

That is so cool! So what did you have to do to get to this point (blood work, interviews, doctor visits,).

I am going to have my surgery done in Mexico on August 21st. Initially I was scared cause of the things you hear but a coworker just had hers done and is doing great. Because I know someone who recently did it I feel comfortable. The only thing she regrets is not doing it sooner.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
