Thanks to Dr Illan for giving me my life back. I am three months out and I am 25 pounds from goal. I have lost over 60 pounds. The doctor, hospital and especially his support staff were wonderful. They still answer any questions I may have with a quick response. The Facebook page of his past patients is inspirational and supportive. I am so happy I made the decision to go with this doctor.

I reached my goal range in 4.5 months and have been maintaining for 5 months.

I was very happy with my experience with Dr. Illan in November 2013. Every $500 -$1000 is important to me and gives me pause, so I was paying special attention to the practices that charged under $5K as I worked to select my surgeon. Everything about my experience exceeded my expectations and (not that I don't enjoy foreign travel) I was never left alone to have to figure out how to get from point A to Point B or to pause to think about the safety of a neighborhood, how much to tip a taxi driver, or where I could go to buy my brand of Shampoo or other forgotten item.

Besides having a normal/healthy BMI now, my blood pressure and cholesterol have been in the normal range for 8 months. I had my children late in life and --with them all being under 13-- this is even more important to me than feeling more attractive & slim.

I received scrupulous care in Mexico and will be supporting another loved one surrounding surgery with Dr. Illan soon.

Best wishes to all sleevers & sleevers to be-- it's a wonderful & effective tool for reclaiming your life and a way to push "re-set" on so many health issues that have plagued the majority of us!

Hoping he is. My surgery went extremely well. The hospital was excellent. Thanks to his support staff felt safe and never uncomfortable. Would not hesitate to do it again. Feeling blessed

Hoping the coordinator is still with Dr. Illan. It was great to have every detail handled. No worries traveling in Mexico.

      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.
