I was sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Illan on 8.31.13 in Tijuana MX. I would not trade my experience for anything. Dr. Illan is a very talented surgeon with Baja Bariatrics and his team is amazing! His coordinator Omar is there to help you every step of the way and afterwards. I started out at 326 lbs, 301 day of surgery and currently 287 This tool has saved my life and I'm not sure where I would be if Dr. Illan and his team hadn't given me this tool/gift. The hospital was very nice and the nurses were so sweet and attentive. I would not change one thing about choosing Dr. Illan or going to Mexico except to have done it sooner! This has been an amazing journey thus far and the best is yet to come! I love my sleeve!!!

Great reading your posts Sherry. I should find out Wednesday whether I can make it there for Jan 18th (or near that) surgery. hope I can, would love to finally meet you.

I've noticed a "shift" in my thinking lately - it wasn't a conscious thing but I seem to have lost a lot of my fear and apprehension. I had really been hoping that something would change and I think it finally has.

That would be great to see you! Glad you're getting more confident about the surgery I truly love my sleeve.
