Hi therei am currently awaiting word from my insurance company to get the sleeve here in the United States. I am on the border with my BMI, 34.9,so I have a feeling I might be denied. No other factors to help out my plea unfortunately. So I am looking into Mexico as an alternative. Learning some great information here. I am down to two doctors. Dr illan and dr and sr alverez. I am leaning toward dr illan because of the cheaper price though. What are your thoughts between the two?

Sorry about the typos. Couldn't see what I was writing as I was writing it. Weird. That was supposed to read, I'm between dr Illan and dr alverez.

I was sleeved by Dr. Illan on 8/31/13 and would recommend him to my family and friends. Such a wonderful surgeon and team. I have a picture of my leak test and pics of process. LOVE HIM!

Dr Alvarez is the best! I was sleeved 09.27.13. I have lost 55 pounds including pre op. Best decision I ever made!

Easier said than done because I know it matters, but don't let price influence you too much. Even if it means saving up a little longer. It's super important for you to be 100% confident with your surgeon selection. Good luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
