Fully agreed! But after I did research I wasnt impressed. My experience was great but when went back for dads surgery I was very very disappointed with Omar. -

Nothing happened to me. I had the best time. However when I went with my dad for his surgery everything was different. -

All ive been told is that bariatric surgeons should have one or more of the following... FRACS, FASMBD, FICS, SAGES, FACS after their name. Dr Illan has MD which in NZ means he is only a medical doctor. Basic surgeries only. -

May you need a surgery to correct your head cause you aint right in the head. Omar was fine until early this year. So maybe do your research PROPERLY. as someone has told me. Dont we all have a past? Past is a past for a fucking reason. You dont bring past into present and future. -

Attacking Omar means your attacking Dr Illan. Your all low lifes with nothing better to do. Grow the fuck up. Get a life elsewhere. Dr Illan is a great surgeon. This thread is going to scare so many away... -

There is no question as to who I am. I was Dr. Illans first NEW ZEALAND patient. He was happy. Surgery 5th December 2013. My experience was great Omar was awesome very caring. Although he didnt need to care about me as my mum was there. That was the best mini holiday ive had. Pure awesomeness. Last month me and my dad went as it was his turn to be sleeved. But this time Omar wasnt as chirpy or as happy and caring. Which I wasnt very happy with so I just cared for my dad etc. He seemed quite distant and angry alot.. okay time to finish this before I get hammered at. You all know me im guessing. Have a great day. -
When you choose your surgeon ... you get his team too.
