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 ;)

Nope.  Not even a little bit.  :D

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
