Past Volume: It was reported in February 2018 Dr. Illan performed over three bariatric surgeries per day and to date [Feb 2018] has personally completed over 4,000 laparoscopic procedures and over 3,000 bariatric operations in total. Source was MexicoGastricSleeve.org circa February 2018.

Another image from DrJalil.com states yet again different numbers on Dr. Jalil’s surgical experience. All this could mean is that Dr. Jalil team doesn’t update his websites regularly. I wouldn’t read in too much into Dr. Jalil’s surgical volume, but there are a lot of numbers to digest.
