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



Recommended Posts

I certainly agree with your thoughts regarding Omar and applaud all of those that choose to speak out on this thread because it is such a serious accusation. Others should be able to voice their opinions and serious debate can be had here. BUT to disregard a poster's comments on any of these threads by saying we are simply newbies and therefore not worthy of comment is what I find offensive.... Not your comments regarding Omar. You have a right to express your opinions in reference to him. As do others. I am not slamming you, just stating that I took offense to your reference that I only joined in April. I also am a grandmother, and in my sixties, etc etc. which has no bearing here.

Amen. If your not in agreement , present another opinion, or request factual backup you become a fool.

Please post the online link to this "online indictment" and your first-hand knowledge. Back up your accusations with facts. You are quick to criticize others for their lack of knowledge, lets see what facts of criminal activity you have.

Just google his name - it's there in black and white on a government website. Amazing invention, the internet.

We HIGHLY recommend using another surgeon, until we're able to reach Dr. Illan and discuss the Omar issue with him directly. Since Omar is in charge of all his communication, all attempts to reach Dr. Illan have failed. I will update this topic if anything changes.

Have any of the victims contacted the local police department or maybe a local human rights group or the American consulate? It would seem that atleast one of these groups would consider reaching out to the doctor.

Omar is a bad act, so much so that my daughter and I cancelled her surgery with Dr. Illan, which was scheduled for July 22 because of the negative light that has been shown on Omar via this thread. I hope others have followed through with cancellations and have selected other surgeons because of Omar's actions. Maybe that is the only way you will get Dr Illan's attention.... Through his pocketbook.

Thanks Alex. This thread has been effective and should continue until the issue is resolved directly with Dr. Illan. I thank everyone for bringing this issue to light. Honestly I was shocked and dismayed by the information that was shared on this thread in the beginning but through perseverance via Susan and others I quickly came to realize that "where there is smoke, there is likely fire." Just too much testimonial info here to ignore.

      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.
