Hey! I just found out that Dr. Jalil won't be in the team….apparently some issues with his patient facilitator.  Does anybody know doctor Maytorena?  he is the other doctor…… I am reading his credential and seems to be very experienced, but not sure.  

anybody has had surgery with him???

I got that in an email.  I am kind of bummed about it.  The idea of being able to have surgery with Dr. Illan for less money was appealing.  Such is life.

Yeah, that does kinda suck. That would have been a great price for Dr. Illan for sure! He is usually around 5k.

The surgeon on that site also is Dr Jorge Maytorena. I tried looking up reviews but haven't found many. I talked to the coordinator and he was very nice and super informational. He said the price was low because they perform the surgery at in a surgical clinic instead of a hospital. Then you are transported to the recovery place.

I spent a ton of time reviewing the website & Dr. M. I can't find anything bad about him (negative stuff always comes up of its there). The lower cost is because it's an outpatient clinic. I'm going to look into this.

I will more than likely be going with them also. If you guys are nervous like me lol i emailed them the other day and asked to speak with the surgeon! You just let them know a time and date and he'll call or skype you which is Awesome. I just want to make sure I ask him as many long term questions about the sleeve as possible. Becasuse if anything goes wrong I wont have the money to go back to Mexico I will need care in the U.S. Im ready!

      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.

      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.
