  1. Best decision I've ever made. Sleeved 8/31/13 and down 123lbs and SO close to ONEderland!
  2. Cara, Dr. Illan and his staff are top notch! I was sleeved 8/31/13 and am down 123lbs I'm shocked every time I say that out loud or type it. I feel like a completely new person and owe my life to Dr. Illan at bajabariatrics.com. Feel free to ask my any questions you may have. Thanks, Sherry

    I eat Protein first & lots of Water. Premier Protein shakes and Quest bars are my best friends :-)
  11. If that is true then I would hope no one would promote Dr. Kelly. amazing story!
  12. Great news! So glad you had a great experience. I would go back over and over again to Dr. Illan. He is such a talented surgeon and his team is totally awesome! Thank you Baja Bariatrics for taking such good care of my friend! ((hugs)) Sherry in VA

    Tipping

    This is just what I did but it gives you an idea. I tipped the coordinator $100.00, drivers $5.00 each way, didn't tip nurses but maybe I should have but didn't, bags I tipped $2 per bag and if they brought me something. Take small bills when shopping and when you leave Mexico at the boarder people will be asking for money and selling items. I had a lot of change in my purse so I did give them the change because that part was a little sad. You will have an amazing vacation on top of surgery. Crazy to believe but true! Can't wait to read about your journey on here when you get back!!! Sherry

  22. I was sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Illan on 8.31.13 in Tijuana MX. I would not trade my experience for anything. Dr. Illan is a very talented surgeon with Baja Bariatrics and his team is amazing! His coordinator Omar is there to help you every step of the way and afterwards. I started out at 326 lbs, 301 day of surgery and currently 287 This tool has saved my life and I'm not sure where I would be if Dr. Illan and his team hadn't given me this tool/gift. The hospital was very nice and the nurses were so sweet and attentive. I would not change one thing about choosing Dr. Illan or going to Mexico except to have done it sooner! This has been an amazing journey thus far and the best is yet to come! I love my sleeve!!!
  23. That would be great to see you! Glad you're getting more confident about the surgery I truly love my sleeve.
