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



Recommended Posts

Since most of the people posting on this site are grown women .... I wonder if we were all in a room would you be "acting" in the same way. What I read in all these posts is the venom and hate coming across. True anger no matter what side. Once again I say - please shut this post down from further commentary. I think we have enough drama in here for folks to make a decision. All new posts have been just garbage and attacks. As grown women we should be pumping each other up not destroying each other.

This post will remain open until I request that it be closed. That will happen once appropriate resolution has taken place.

If we close it down now, it will disappear and that is what the Omar Worshippers want. And, we would be doing a disservice to potential patients of Dr. Illan if we do not warn them about Omar as long as he is still in the employment of Dr. Illan and Baja Bariatrics. In the meantime, you can unsubscribe and refrain from opening it if it disturbs you.

Isn't there a way to keep it viewable without allowing new venom to spew? That way people can still search on it?

I agree I want people who are new to read and make their own decisions. It's just that no new posts have been in a debate forum so to speak.

We still have victims considering posting their experiences. If they decide to face the bullying, they deserve the opportunity to do so.

There is a finding checked by the federal court judge in his order concerning Omar which states "the defendant has a significant prior criminal record."   These documents are public record.   In the US, we are lucky to have diligent employers who do background checks.

Is it "wrong" of "me" to "giggle" when I see "quotation mark" used "incorrectly"? Unless she "really" meant it "that" way. Hmmmm.... Brings an entirely "new" "twist to the "story".

I am not a newbie

I am not an Omar lover

I am not a Susan basher/supporter

And you can giggle all you like. You're proving my point

Goodness. Please show me where I said you were anything. I don't think I've addressed you at all. :D

Your "" actually made sense, so no, my dear, wasn't you. ;)

It was posted right after my quotation mark usage so just thought you were referring to me ;)

Would you please PM me a link for this information?  I am collecting data to turn over to the proper authorities in Mexico and this would help a great deal.  I am not good at researching legal issues.

 

Thanks!

Chelsey. You need not do this. I can assure you, this is already being done. I have more information than what has been shared on here.

This is weird - the Baja Bariatrics website has this blurb under "our coordinator" :

 

"Omar is a certified, experienced Facilitator, based in EU. Omar has many experience as a health facilitator, he is dedicated to helping you safely travel for medical services, he will be happy to help and support you in your weight loss journey in Tijuana Mexico."

 

 

Isn't EU universally accepted as an abbreviation for European Union? And what is this certification? Perhaps it's all just poor English and auto-correct. Still weird though...

One thing I would like to add.  I do not hang out with criminals in the US or anywhere else.  I want to know who I am dealing with is not a gigolo or criminal.  A one night stand might be fun.  But know who you are sleeping with.  I can google and research anyone in the US, but Mexico, haha!.  All these women go to Mexico, have no idea they are hanging  with a felon/criminal/unknown but for sure has a criminal history but suave front man for the doctor who wines and dines them and keeps his employer happy with rave reviews.

Dr. Illan is apparently too busy from just coming back from vacation to talk about the Omar situation right now, but states he is very interested. I'm sorry, what is more important than the safety of your patients? I don't care how busy you are, this should be your top priority.

He is probably sweating at the thought of loss of income and is speechless.

If this were the US, I'd say he is lawyering up. Have no idea how it works in Mexico or with out of country clients.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
