Picked Surgery in Mexico, great!... Now what do I do?
Naija2atl replied to *Rosana*'s topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Many State side Doctor are not comfortable with mexico surgery with some good reason but mostly from ignorance. You should consult with your PCP and be ready to swap him/her for someone else if they are not supportive. Good Luck -
My Dr Illan experience!
Naija2atl replied to North_Chicky's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Had surgery with Dr Illian back in April, down 60lbs, my only regret is not doing this sooner. He has the best bedside manner ever. If you are debating Dr Illian stop thinking and go for it. -
Had my surgery April 10 wity Dr illian, no issue at all down 52 lbs. best value out there

And " he said I was cute and touch my shoulder" is not an evidence just a doc/guy trying to boost your ego so you can refer more people

I still don't see any evidence of any wrong doing, just hearsay and personal experiences that has nothing to do with this case . anybody has any shred of evidence ? we have a right to know

If he had sex with her he would be wrong but she denied it happened, bipolar is a powerful thing that can cause you to make up stories . If you have any evidence that can shed light on this case please show it or stop destroying the career of a man that may or may not been guilty.

Florence Hospital and The Lucerna Hotel
Naija2atl replied to Luv2bslim's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Lucerna is beautiful , my room at Florence was adequate, clean and comfortable , the nurse took good care < I would recommend and Dr Illian is a great choice -
Dr. Garcia or Dr. Illan
Naija2atl replied to Luv2bslim's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
they are both excellent , but Dr Illian is about 700 cheaper, that could pay your air fare maybe your companion if you have one. I had Dr Illian April 10 down about 55 lbs, no issue -
Dr. Illan opinions please!

Glad you are making the move. We cant wait to welcome you to the loser's bench

Not if you have a sleeve. Even without a sleeve it will be very hard, Many cultures in human histories eat mostly protein and they do just fine. Use your brain power for other productive thoughts

Please give details about Florence hospital
Naija2atl replied to Olivia23's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
The nurses were very nice , little english, getting IV in was an hassle just like in the US; been dehydrated made it worse . It took 4 nurses to get it in. Room was very nice, big glass wall that open to the downtown presented a beautiful view. I had no issue with temperature or noise. I got meds on time , nurses showed when I pushed call button. 19 inch flat screen on the wall provided all the entertainment with EDGE movie channel. private bathroom was clean . I would recommend . Stayed in Lucerna Hotel, choose to leave early after one night. I had no need to see the doctor but he visited anyways. I mostly stayed in watch TV and skype with family back at home. -

Got my denial letter from BCBS today :(
Naija2atl replied to Kami63's topic in Insurance & Financing
Truth can be hard sometimes, you did not gain weight due to been in " starvation mode" you gain weight due to eating too much of the wrong food, think slider food . If you are not truthful to yourself not even sleeve will help you. Good luck
