I was pretty much set on dr Garcia, but now after reading more on Dr Illan I am questioning going with him? Please anyone that has had either of these Drs, let me know!

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!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
