Surgery Date in June 27 for Dr Illan in Mexico

[catlynk 79]

I have a friend who got her sleeve done by him and also had nothing but good things to say.

Good luck with your decision.

One thing I didn't know, since I haven't been to Mexico in like 15 years we need passports to get there so now I'm scrambling for expedited pass cards going to the passport agency on Monday.

Hi Catlynk

I'm so glad you chose Dr Illan I have been reading almost every thread on here and have never heard anything but very good things about him. One lady did complain that he was unable to check on her one day in recovery because he had an emergency with another patient! Really??? I think she had nothing to complain about. Speaks well of a doctor that he takes care of patients and doesn't leave that to others.

I'm talking to Dr Illan to decide between a sleeve or RNY due to Gerd I already have.

Let's keep in touch!

Hi Tom,

I'm a female and have stats similar to yours. I had my surgery with Dr. Illan on the fifth of may and couldn't be happier with his work. I'm excited to start my weight loss journey not be a yo-yo anymore myself. I'm happy to answer any questions you have just private message me if you'd like. Tijuana is fabulous: Stacy,Bill, Robert, Henry, and Juanito have been wonderful. Also, the nurses and other staff are very attentive. They have worked out all of the kinks. Good luck to you!!

Thanks so much to write it means a lot and I will PM you that's for sure. Today I was like freaking out a little like am I really going to do this...six weeks from now....it's so good to get confirmation. I feel good about Bariatric Pal Mexico very much. I also am in Seattle so if there are complications I can just fly back down. Easy Peasy

I am currently in home with my daughter Tijuana, she had her sleeve done on Monday. Every thing went great and Dr Illan is wonderful! So is his coordinator Omar.

Isn't it a neat experience?! Has Juanito given you the tour of Chapultepec yet? Make sure you do that if you can fit it in I was amazed at how beautiful that area was. Hope your daughter is doing great in her recovery!

Hi Catlynk and RNYoYo

Thanks so much for thinking of me ! I'm doing well , just lurching to the end of the school year, two more weeks . Had so many issues with my IBS lately that I've stopped eating just about everything. liquid diet starts in a few days. Hope everything goes well for you!

I don't know Juanito. Our coordinator's name is Omar. We went to the coast about 40 minutes away could be what your talking about

Today is the day waiting in Seattle to board the plane to San Diego. Really tired and ready to sleep all the way there.

I just had surgery with dr.illan last Wednesday! You're gonna do great! I was so skeptical when I went and have been pleasantly surprised! I was never in as much pain as I expected, didn't feel unsafe and my energy level is higher than I thought it would be! You're in great hands!
