II had my sleeve done 5 weeks ago by Dr. Illan. It went very well.

I flew to San Diego and was picked up in an unmarked car (a tad bit of confusion there). Drove straight to the Oasis of Hope hospital. Paperwork, preop testing, before I knew it they had me heading into surgery.

I woke up in recovery. After just a few minutes they took me back to my room. I had almost no pain... Just sore abdominals. As soon as I was ready, I could head out of my room and walk. The valets would walk with me. That evening I was a bit lightheaded, but by morning it was better.

Nurses came in every 2 hours to give medicine in the IV. On the 3rd day I got my first shower and was discharged to the hotel. Right after getting to the hotel we went out for shopping and food for 5 hours. The next day I was out for 8 hours! The hotel was very nice.

I hope to go back next year to see everyone again with my new body!

I was sleeved by Dr. Ilan back in Feb, no issues, was very happy with Oasis of Hope and all of the Bariatric MX team. I would highly recommend them.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ramos Kelly in Tijuana. I stayed at Hospital Angeles and Hotel Lucerna. Would love to go back and stay at the hotel again!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
