I had surgery March 28th in TJ with Dr Illan and the wonderful Omar! I have lost 87lbs and couldn't be happier still have about 80 to go. I loved my experience with BajaBariatrics and look forward to going back next summer just to visit!

I had surgery with Dr Illan on march 28th of this year. To date I have lost 87lbs and wouldn't change a thing! My experience was amazing and I want to go back this summer to visit! Omar is by far the greatest person/friend to have thru this! (He is your patient coordinator) he actually had the surgery by Dr Illan in April so he can be a big help bc he's experienced it all himself. Feel free to email me any time you have questions or concerns I would love to help you! I promise you can't go wrong with Dr Illan and Omar! Good luck!!

Had my surgery on march 28th. My hw on march 14th was 340lbs as of this past week I weigh 255lbs. That's 85lbs in 5 months!! Beyond happy just got to keep going!!!

3.5 months out! Right at 70lbs down:) love my sleeve! This has been a learning process though but I wouldn't change it for anything!!

I am 11 weeks post op. had surgery March 28th. My hw was 340lbs currently at 280!! I don't know my surgery weight but high weight was on march 14 when I started liquid diet. Goal weight is 170lbs! Pictures of my face: top are from Oct 2012, bottom left from 2 days post op, bottom right was a few days ago. Body pics: left is two days post op, right is few days ago.

Thank you! It's def a learning process!

Had surgery March 28th. I don't know what I weighed day of surgery but on march 14th day I started liquid diet I was 340lbs as of today I am 283lbs total of 57lbs down!

I'm so confused! I'm up and down on the scale an can't seem to figure out what to do to start making this work. I'm 6 weeks out today and I've lost 42lbs. But I've stalled and gained then lost for the past 2 weeks. I'm working out eating low carb low calories. I can't seem to win! I need advice! I self paid in Mexico so I don't really have a NUT to help. Any advice greatly appreciated!!

Thank you everyone!!

Thank you everyone!! I'm praying it keeps moving! I have alot to go!!

First pic is from Christmas 2012 highest weight 340lbs. Had surgery March 28, 2013 I've lost 42lbs to date so almost 6 weeks. Can anyone see a difference? I can't really:/ need some uplifting words!!

I'm currently a month out from surgery down 38.5lbs give or take a pound or two:( my problem is my weight will go down then back up! I'm frustrated an need some help with a specific diet plan! I don't think I'm eating too much or the wrong things but I'm not sure. I was sleeved on Mexico so I have my NUT info but it's not specific enough. Can any experienced sleevers help me out! I still have about 110lbs to lose and I am ready to see it go for good!!

Going to have to try this!! I'm 3 weeks postop today and I have been in a stall for a week up until this morning showed 1lb lost. I get about 55grams of protein a day and about 60oz of water. Also been on and off my period the past week so I'm blaming that also:/ so frustrating! I've lost 35lbs as of this morning since preop diet 5 weeks ago! I have a lot to lose so I'm hoping this works!

I too chose Dr Illan in Tijuana on March 28th. He is amazing and so is Omar!! I had a high bmi so paid $4500 with no deposit. My husband and I flew spirit out of dfw round trip was about $600 bc we upgraded to the big front seats for comfort! We landed in San Diego about 10:00am and I had surgery that afternoon. I was treated fantastic and so was my husband. Florence hospital is beautiful! Only a few nurses didnt speak English which was fine, Omar was there everyday to take my husband to breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was released Saturday with no drain and felt good. Omar took us every where we needed and wanted to go. We got care packages at the hotel full of drinks, jello, bandages and medicine. In total I enjoyed my experience in Mexico and would 100% do it again! In fact I want to go back next summer to visit!!

I am 16 days post op today. Down 36.5lbs from my highest weight which was 2 weeks before surgery. I am beyond happy but I'm in a bit of a stall right now:( I have alot more weight to lose so I'm ready to see the scale moving more! I just started the purée stage an it's okay much more excited about soft foods next week!! I am having trouble getting all my liquids in daily and protein I figure that's why I'm stalled:( I sip and take regular drinks but it's just hard! I am trying though!!! ) good luck to all!! I love hearing all the progress it's so motivational!!!!
