I'm glad you had a great experience. I had my surgery with Dr. Illan on July 20th. I had a great experience with a super easy recovery. I haven't had even a moment of "buyer's remorse"!

I look forward to your review of your experience. I hope your Daughter is recovering well.

Absolutely! I can't imagine how the experience could have been any better. Omar was wonderful and attentive (to ALL his patients, at the SAME time, is he superman??), Dr. Illan is just amazing, after the surgery he took the time to hang out with my mom and help her through an emotional patch, the nurses and other doctors were on top of everything and so helpful. Shoot, my mom asked what she thought was a nurse for towels and he promptly brought her some, turns out he was a doctor!

I'm so glad you and your daughter had a good experience too. Plus it was great meeting you guys!

I would recommend Dr. Illan and his team to anybody in a heartbeat. Everything was smooth and perfect and it was just a wonderful, positive experience.

I just got back from tj and Dr. Illan was my surgeon as well. It was an easy experience and both I and my daughter fell in love with Omar. I couldn't have asked for better treatment. Im doing great with no pain just the gas issues..lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
