I had my surgery with Dr. Illan and it went well. I had no problems or complications. The hospital was clean and all staff members were nice. If you have any specific questions please ask :)
Well I got the surgery done and everything is fine! I'm still in Mexico but I flight out tomorrow. If you have any questions let me know. Otherwise, everything went well and the overall experience was good!
Hi, I am home and doing very well. I have no regrets, and I am feeling great.

That would be great!! I am really shocked there are really no reviews on this Dr, but I trust you. I can live with the multi incision.
I look forward to your next msg.
Also - afterthought - yes, I've heard horror stories about Huacuz, so, I stayed far away.
As far as the others - just be sure to do great homework on them - get number of procedures, etc. It's way more important than price!!
I think a lot of places are hesitant to put up pictures of the single incision because it looks so big. Google "Single Incision Bariatric Surgery" and click on images and you'll see what I mean. ::cringe:: I'm not sure really if any are better or worse, but, I've had a lapband done and removed, gallbladder removed and 2 laparoscopies for Endo, so, I'm used to the tiny incisions I've got going on at this point. ;)
I'll add you and then send you my email so I can put you directly in touch with the woman who does Dr. G's scheduling and you can go from there with her. I know he has done 2500+ sleeves, but, I don't know if he does the single incision?
I am leaning towards Dr Gonzalez or Dr Jorge Maytorena. I was considering Dr Vanboreen, but reviews are really mixed. I would love to have direct contact with the clinic because I have been dealing with the medical tourism and they are so slow in getting back to me or not providing me with specific info I am requesting like pictures of the single incision scars and multi incision scars this Dr leaves. I am ready to literally look for another Dr somewhere else if I cannot deal directly with the clinic. My quote was $3899 plus $60 for meds. Dr Maytorena has great reviews and is only charging $2999. I heard Huacuz has actually killed people.
Thank you for your help.
No worries. I also found it difficult to find information on him. What I did find was all positive, though! I'm glad I went with Dr. Gonzalez as my choice. I figure out through talking to the nurse that most of his referrals come from other patients. So, my intent is to write up a post on him and the hospital specifically so people looking into him will have some feedback. Let me know if you decide to go with Dr. Gonzalez, and I'll put you directly in touch with his scheduler. It may save you $100 or so not booking through one of the medical tourism places. I don't know anything about other doctors in the TJ area. The only one I can say worried me based on reviews across forums and decided to stay away from was Dr. Huacuz. I hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any others questions or concerns. I know it's a huge step!!
I just inquired about this myself and in Canada legally your doctor cannot deny you treatment if need be, even if you had surgery in Mexico. The US is a different story...
Oh lol ok. Sorry for the confusion. It is just such a difficult decision because you can find absolutely nothing on this Dr, so I have been in termoil in deciding between him and 2 other Drs.
