March Sleevers in Tijuana!



Recommended Posts

Brand new here! :) I am going with Dr. Illan on the 13th of March! I am an RN in northern MN, looking forward to some warmer weather!! My sister is going with me, I am a little nervous to leave 4 kiddos back home with the hubby, I will miss them. It is my spring break from my bachelor's program, so good timing. Hope it all goes as smoothly as possible! My friend Jen is a consultant for Dr. Illan, and has sent 9 others besides herself to him from up here in MN and they have had amazing results!!! I am so excited to be flying out in (gulp) 11 days!!!

So exciting to see the March surgeries happen as that means mine is right around the corner. I see a few of Dr Illan patients here and just wanted to let you know we have a support group for his patients called Team Illan. Great group of people! I can't wait to hear everyone's updates 4/4 can't come soon enough!

Hi everyone. I'm here at Mi hospital waiting. And waiting. Going to go f'ing nuts. We got here at 7:30am and it's almost 1 and I want to pull my hair out. Nobody can tell me when I'm going. Had bloods and EKG, met everyone, in my room in the gown and compression socks on STARVING. Lol. Fuck me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
