Hi, The Dr I used was Dr. Illian

With this Dr you fly into San Diego, CA and they have a driver pick you up and drive you across the boarder, the driver also takes you back across the boarder on your way home. There is a medical lane on the way back into the us. I had an amazing experience and top of the line care. Dr Illians team can be contacted at [email protected] there is also a support group on Facebook called teamillian. Please feel free to contact me as well. Take care Chery

Hello, My names Chery I was sleeved by Dr Illian on 12-8-14

I know he's not on your list of Dr's but he is amazing. Most of his patients are on his facebook page teamIllian. I highly recommend checking into his team. Its the best decision I've ever made for myself. I have lots of pictures I can share with you. I was so scared and nervous leaving the US and going to Mexico for surgery but the trip was like a second honeymoon for me and my husband.

Topic: My Sleeve journey in Mexico With Dr Illian

Hi everyone, 

Before I found Dr Illian, I felt very lost and SCARED!!! I joined Dr Illians Facebook page. TeamIllian. Its an amazing group of people for support. Most of his patients are on the Facebook page so i think that's why you don't see a lot of us on here. Let me start by saying what i really love about my choice. 1st off you're in an actual real hospital for 2 days. 2nd Then once you're released from the hospital you go to a really nice Hotel. 3. The Dr's check on you at the Hotel. 4. The patient coordinator Omar is right there with you and your companion the whole time you're in Mexico. By day 2 you feel so good and are able to go shopping and to the beach. Omar took my husband and I to restaurants, shopping, and the swap meet. I have a lot of pictures if you would like to see them. The quality of care at the hospital the follow up care and how wonderful the patient coordinator is are all the reasons why I'm confident you will also be happy with Dr Illian and his team.  Please message me if you have any questions or would like to see pictures. Thanks Chery

Do you have a date set? I have to say I'm very envious of you. I was just laid off (perfect time to have the surgery but just no money to pay for it). 

Please keep me posted.

Hi! I am hoping for surgery on Feb 24. I am just waiting on my funds to come in to confirm the date. It may have to be pushed out slightly.

My heaviest weight was 347. I am currently 341. I am hoping to be down to 320 for surgery. My ultimate goal weight is 145, but realistically I would be happy with 170 or below. I think the last time I weighed that I was about 15 years old.
