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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
