Dr. Jalil Illan with Baja Bariatrics and Omar Acosta - A Warning



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done by Dr. Illan on May 24. I was and still am completely satisfied with that decision. I was so relieved to have had Omar with my daughter and myself while traveling in Mexico. We always felt safe and secure. Our every need was attended to. I have posted this on this thread before only to have my comments removed which is very disturbing.

I removed this post because I was told by someone I respect I was too harsh and judgemental. I apologize.

If you had your proceedure done 3 months ago then why do you only have 3 other posts? Sounds like either you were put up to posting by someone or your someone with an active account already and you just made another account so you could disguise who you are. I haven't even had my first office visit yet and I have over 60 posts....seems strange

Woah Nelly! No reason to judge someone based on how many posts they have. While your accusation *may be* true, your logic behind it is unfair. Lots of people lurk or join after surgery. The person above you joined before this debacle started unlike some of the other supporters, so I think you are being unfair.

You don't need to apologize, this was you humble view, period! As i came to discover the kind of person who is omar, i won't be suprised that he uses multiple fake profiles to promote his business and manipulate people, which is very easy to do in such forum, so actually i also suspect that this matter, mine that is coming and others have made him raise the alert to his fans and and fake profiles.

I respectfully disagree.  Again, this person joined before the debacle so it's unfair to accuse them of such.  I'd much rather err on the side of kindness rather than unfounded suspicion.  Benefit of the doubt and all that jazz...  :D

Which is why I apologized. After all that had gone on its easy to think the worst. I'm not usually so suspicious, I was wrong.

I was there with Lora V at the same time, getting the same surgery. We drove around with Omar, shared some laughs. I met her daughter and her, and can not say enough nice things about them, they are wonderful people.  I can not really comment on any of this negativity, As my expierence was rather uneventful.  Omar was attentive, and simply did his job.  I am not one to act or comment on hersay.  I am not saying that any of these accusations posted on here are true or false.  Just that my expierence with him and the doctor was uneventful.  The results have been amazing.  I do hope that people find some closure.

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.

I am sure this Omar fool picks and chooses his victims.  I also think he might not be so attentive lately since he could have other things to worry about, like his job?  He must be making good money down in Mexico and he needs that job, since he cannot come back to the good old USA without going to jail.  On behalf of many women, I hope they do their research here.

That is a question that has been in the back of my mind, where is Laura V ? I miss her comments and advice along with Butterbean. Sorry prob not the right place to ask but if you hear from them let them know they are missed

Yeeesh!  This type of statement makes me so sad.  From reading this thread, it seems that some women went into the "affair" with him, eyes wide open, looking for a little fun and were not at all hurt by it.  The other women, also consenting, read so much more into it and were hurt very much by what happened.  Either way, no one has said these "affairs" happened without consent and because of his position, I consider them all victims, no matter which category they fell into.

 

To joke about them becoming what amounts to a carnival side show is not at all funny, IMO.  It runs along the same vein as "sl*t shaming" and that's not acceptable.

Agreed. I'm so very tired of friendly misogyny- passive aggressive jokes used to mask disdain. Thanks for speaking up Lipstick Lady! I heart you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
