Congratulations! You will love the team

Dr. Illan I was sleeved 8.31.13 and couldn't be happier. My surgery was flawless and recovery was a breeze b/c I didn't really have any recovery. Day 2 from surgery no pain or tenderness. No hunger! love that part Been running since day out of hospital and haven't stopped. 1 week back to work (desk job). Every one one of his patients that I have spoken to have all had great surgeries and recovery. I talked to them by FB and by phone. I would go back to him over and over again.

I was sleeved 8/31/13 and would go back to him over and over. I had no pain meds after 2nd day. You can go to my blog if you'd like to. I didn't want to leave TJ and my husband and I had the best time that we've ever had. Omar the coordinator took such good care of us and Dr. Illan is such a talented surgeon. I was up and running 3rd day from surgery and haven't stopped since. I started 326 pre op, 301 surgery date and currently 264. Very happy! I will send you a PM to join our group so you can ask any questions you may have I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!

Just wanted to share some of my NSV's I've discovered within my 5 weeks post op 1. I am not out of breath when I walk from parking garage to my office. I used to have to do that "fake" cough to try to get my breathing normal so everyone didn't think "Damn, she's out of shape!" 2. I had sleep apnea but now my hubby says I'm not snoring any longer! And my sleep is real sleep now! I feel like a full 6 hrs is more than I ever got sleeping longer before! this is a big deal to me! My sleep apnea doctor is on my FB page and is thrilled as well. 3. I actually park at the end of the parking lot when shopping or going to grocery store. NEVER before did I ever think to do this. In 2010-2012 I had a handicap parking pass because of my back surgeries. I'm very proud of this one! 4. My grown children said this weekend "Mom! You have a waist" I almost cried!!!!!! I LOVE MY SLEEVE and want to thank Dr. Illan and his wonderful team for helping me with these victories!!!!!! God Bless you all on this journey! {{hugs}} Sherry HW 326, SW301, CW 273 woot-woot!

I also have been sleeping so soundly that after about 6 hours I'm up and ready. I used to dream so much and get up 2-3 times to pee and I don't anylonger. You may ask you dr about not sleeping.

Great advice! Thanks for sharing! !

I'm sorry! I'm in a bad mood today we are very passionate about our Dr and I jumped the gun. Please accept my apologies! ♡♡♡

Annie, I have a blog with pictures from my surgery with Dr. Illan. sistersleeves@ blogspot.com I had my sleeve done 8/31/13 and would recommend anyone in my family to him. Care and surgery were great! My incisions look beautiful and healed just fine. No pain since the day of surgery. I loved the whole team and I'm sure you will too Feel free to ask anything.

You have wifi at the hospital and the hotel free of charge :-)

You are so funny!
