Hi Everyone! I’m looking into getting the VSG procedure. Just starting my research. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as Bariatric surgeons in Mexico? The bariatric surgeons that keep popping up are Dr. Jalil Illan & Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Any Recommendations? Please share your experiences. Thanks

Hello Pink7777,

Dr. Jalil Illan is an excellent choice.

He is accredited by ACS, IFSO, ASMB, and SRC has accredited him as a Master Surgeon in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The hospital where he performs surgeries, Hospital BC, is also a Center of Excellence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery by SRC.

Here are the links where you can verify the accreditations:

• ACS: https://www.facs.org/profile/56073599
• IFSO: https://www.ifso.com/selim-jalil-illan-fraijo-4443/
• ASMBS: https://asmbs.org/provider/jalil-illan-facs-e8YM/
• SRC: http://www.surgicalreview.org/find-a-provider/specialties/

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Does Dr. Illan fix hiatal hernia if he discovers the patient has it? Are drains placed after gastric sleeve?

Yes, he does do hernia repairs.

Dr. Illan does not use drains.
