I just came home, dr Illan did my sleeve Thursday and everyone there was fantastic. Met other patients that kept me plenty of company, so I didn't mind traveling alone.

I am thinking of going to Mexico too for surgery. There are about 8 names that keep coming up in my checking. How did you guys decide who to use?

I check references called patients and decided on dr. Illan bariatric pal team mexico. If Alex B. Founder of this site supports him it was good enough for me. BEST decision ever! BILL YANEZ is coordinator for team mexico. Tell him I sent you, he will take great care of you. Personal service no big business feeling.

What is the average cost for the procedure in Mexico?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Average cost seems to be around $4500? Some are more and some are less. It really depends on the surgeon and facility you choose.

I am scheduled with Dr Illan on Aug. 23rd. I am doing it thru BariatricPal Team MX. I am about a 3 hour drive from San Diego which is why i was coming down the night before. Unfortunately my husaband cant get off work and my mother is way too frail to travel.

My husband and I are having our surgeries done by Dr Illan on Aug 22nd. We'll see you there!!

      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!
