Dr. Illan and Omar are awesome! They took excellent care of my daughter and me as her guest. Omar caters to you. He made sure I had Breakfast, dinner and lunch. He even took care of a patients husband of Dr. Venezuala who had been at the hospital without food for days...Omar took him to get something to eat. I think though...i had surgery with Dr. Garcia which was an awesome experience...I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Illan first!

I'm curious. Did Baja Bariatrics set you up with drivers, hotel etc?

Yep, they sure do. Everything is handled from drivers to hospital to hotel to guest accommodations and back again... the only downside is that food isn't easily available in the hospital for guests, but Omar is so wonderful and makes sure that everyone is fed and taken care of. :) Everything was covered under the price and they sure have it streamlined.

Omar did everything thing from picking us up at our location in San Diego, getting my hubby feed while I ate ice chips after surgery and day before, getting us to hotel (super nice!!!) taking us to get meals that we would never have found on our own. They are such great people inside and out. Call him and ask him anything. I already feel like a brand new person :) Wish I had done this sooner. I won't lie- first day hurts but once the gas is out you are feeling good. I went through mysurgery.com but you can also go straight to BajaBariatrics.com You will love the Dr. Illan and his team! 619-623-5368 is Omar's cell. Leave a message and he'll call you back.

      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.
