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

[lora v 5]

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.

You're not in agreement

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.

Go with a surgeon you can contact directly.
