Hi vicki, it's a pleasure to say hi. I will be more than happy to schedule a phone, Skype or facetime consultation to answer all your questions.

Hello Dr. Illan! Ok, that would be great! I am in contact with Henry now, and can set something up with him I am guessing? Also, I watched the video on you tube of you performing the sleeve surgery, was great to watch and learn!

Hi Vicki, Dr. Illan did my mini gastric surgery and has provide support since surgery. He is so nice and caring you could not find a finer surgeon. He will answer any questions or concerns

you have and follow up when he needs. I would not trust my surgery to anyone except Dr. Illan.

Hi Vicki, I had mini gastric bypass with Dr. Illan. Before my surgery, he came in and let me know that I am family and he and the surgical staff will take care of me. He has answered any and all questions I have had and I know he will continue to check up on me. He is definitely the best choice I could have made. He definitely cares and he does a fantastic job. I have seen the video of my surgery. He operates with great attention to detail. I couldn't be happier with my surgery or my recovery.

I just returned from having my VSG with Dr. Illan. He Is AMAZING! I have tiny little incisions and I have had no pain.

You can't go wrong by choosing the BariatricPal MX Team to coordinate for you. They took such great care of us.

I am going to Dr. Illan because I have 3 co-workers who have had surgery via Dr. Illan and had wonderful things to say about him. The 7th can't get here fast enough!

      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.
