My insurance would not cover the bypass so I knew I had to research other options. During my research I came across Dr. Illian and bariatricpal mx. After much consideration this is who I chose. I had surgery on March 20, 2017 and would choose him again in a heartbeat. Not only is he an amazing surgeon with the best bedside manner I have ever encountered, Bariatricpal has the best employees that help you with every aspect of the process. They are amazing and I have since gone back through them and had plastics. I give him a 10 out of 10
