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

Many of you on here know me well, I have been a part of these message boards for years. I love our members and I want only the best for them. Therefore, I can not in good conscience keep this to myself any longer.

Dr. Illan is a wonderful surgeon. In fact, when I used to coordinate, for a while I actually referred patients to him. His coordinator, Omar, has a very, very faithful following. So much so, I fully expect and am prepared for the "verbal beating" I am going to get for going public with what I know. But, if I prevent just one woman from experiencing what I am about to share with you, then it will all be worth it.

As I said, Omar is very well loved among the patients, especially the ladies. He goes out of his way to ensure everyone has a great experience while there. He provides for the patient's every need, transports them around town, runs errands for them, sits by their bedside and so much more. He is very charming and charismatic. There will be many, many members who will respond to this thread stating just that. In fact, when the first patient, one that I had referred to them, approached me about what happened to her, I did her a horrible disservice by not really believing what she told me, because Omar did such a good job of convincing me otherwise. But now, after six woman, some of whom I referred to Dr. Illan, some not, have contacted me regarding what happened to them, I know now that first patient was telling me the truth, she did not misinterpret anything and I must speak out.

So, what is it that I am speaking off? I am talking about taking advantage of woman who have traveled to a foreign country by themselves, most likely have low self-esteem due to their weight issues, they are scared and they are lonely. Then, along comes Omar. He is by their side throughout their stay. He is, as I said before, charming and charismatic. They very quickly find themselves falling victim to him, and he takes advantage of them in several different ways. He either is sexually suggestive to them, sexually inappropriate, or convinces these woman he truly cares for/loves them and begins a romantic relationship with them. Because of how vulnerable they are, they believe he really does care about them, and they allow themselves to be wooed by him and have a romantic and/or sexual relationship with him. Then, shortly after, he basically dumps them. He quits responding to their calls, texts, etc. He leaves these woman feeling broken and foolish for falling for him. They feel like they have done something wrong, when in fact, they are merely the victim of a heartless man taking extreme advantage of his position and their vulnerability. Understand, I am not saying this happens with every patient, but it does happen and it shows an extreme lack of professionalism and moral character.

I have attempted to contact Dr. Illan to speak with him personally about this. Unfortunately, Omar makes that nearly impossible. All calls, emails, etc. are intercepted by him. And, here is the saddest part of all, Dr. Illan already knows what is going on. So, I am doubtful my talking to him would make a difference. Dr. Illan knows Omar has a strong fan base, and therefore, brings him a great deal of business. So, he turns a blind eye to what is happening. Which, is why I have no guilt in publicly coming out and sharing what I know. I will be honest, my goal here is to have Omar removed from his position as coordinator with Baja Bariatrics and Dr. Illan, and to see that he does not work in this field or any other field where he can take advantage of woman again. And, if Dr. Illan goes down as a result, well, shame on him for allowing it to happen in the first place.

Not sl ut shaming (your words) I think that it speaks on her character therefore her creditabilty. Also Susan I think you did a poor a job on presenting this matter if this is truly something sinister going on its not being received that way.I think most of ppl are seeing this as a group of butt hurt women trying to get back at there jerk ex lover this is what it sounds like. So if he's abusing his power manipulating women into thinking they have to have sex with him prove it. Show us he's being creepy and making unwanted sexual advances on women who have said NO. Otherwise its he said she said.

you have issues.

Absolutely, I have issues with someone who is supposed to be a professional satisfying his personal needs by preying on his patients.

Stop using the word victim. I was victimized as a child with no choice, being manipulated by an older relative. The women and children that I work with are victims and survivors, fighting their way through abusive relationships, drug abuse, incest, and physical abuse and neglect.

 

These women are scorned lovers who were dumped and now feel vengeful because their love was rebuffed. Instead of just addressing the man who broke their heart privately, they decided to discredit his employer. They recruited Susan and Alex on their mission.

 

This really isn't about Omar. I hope the casual lurker sees that this thread was intending to discredit a doctor and his medical practice!

Uh, two of the people have posted here. Others are afraid to because of the bullying taking place. And, sorry, I only just now have gotten around to having hidden cameras placed in all the hospital and hotel rooms.

If this stuff happened while in the hospital definitely totally not cool and would be illegal - but that doesn't seem to be the case here as it seems to have happened later when they returned to visit HIM (not as a patient).

 

Travelmego, I find it fascinating that, even though you have been told by more that one person, including one of the women involved, that the incident happened DURING the sleeve trip, you have yet to respond in any way.

 

Instead, you continue to repeat your misinformation about the supposed (now disproved) trip back to Mexico "for the affair". The quote above is just an example, you have repeated it more than once in your posts.

 

This is odd and it seems like you are willfully ignoring it. Reminds me of how you were about Susan accidentally posting under her fiance's login.

 

This is just an observation.

They only admitted to having consensual sex with him. They didn't really explained what happened I'll go back an re read it maybe I missed somthing but it didn't prove to me anything illegal or sinister happened.

 

<p>You know what Lipstick lady, I coud be wrong but I actually I don't think there is any medical ethic in the usa covering an administrative support staff dating a former patient. I will have to research it. I am certainly not excusing the situation - I think it is a dumb thing to date former patients - the same way I think co-workers dating is not that bright. If this stuff happened while in the hospital definitely totally not cool - but that doesn't seem to be the case here as it seems to have happened later when they returned to visit HIM (not as a patient).</p> <p> </p> <p>And yes, several people have mentioned the scenario that I mentioned about the impression that people got that he was somehow molesting people while under anesthesia (or the like). </p>

. Let me clarify something for you Travelmego, what happened to me did take place when I was there for my sleeve and not on a return visit. I did go back to Tijuana, but not it was to have another surgery, he and I were not even communicating any more. I did stay at the same hotel because it is safe, nice and close to the hospital I was using. However I was not prepared for the fact that he has keys or pass cards rather to these rooms. Imagine my surprise to walk into my room one evening only to find him there.

So if you weren't talking any more, then you must have paid for your flight, pick up from the airport, hotel and never expected any other travel arrangements from him. He basically just showed up to fk you and you had no idea. Right? Answer carefully because I've got a screen shot of you telling someone that he left you at the dentist because he was busy working and that made you mad.

 

For pete's sake what do her marriage vows have to do with the issue at hand here? Really not relevant, sorry. More sl ut shaming I'm afraid.

 

REALLY? I mean really?! She stood before God and made promises. She's just as much a liar and unethical as sunnuri! It has everything to do with the type of person she is... overweight or not! Gastric sleeve or not! She's married for Christ's sake!

I can only read at a third grade level so I couldn't make it through all these posts made by higher level readers. From what I could comprehend though is that you should be careful not to have sex with a stranger even if they is nice to you. You should be careful. If you are their boss you should tell them not to sleep with their customers cuz it is bad for business. Plus, you don't need to have the sleeve surgery and also wind up with no baby so you might want to just say no or bring a lot of condoms. Now, frankly, I saw Omar's picture an I so would have fkd him, but then again I'm a big whore. I hope this helps everyone.

******=wh*re

oh geez! I am so glad i am going to Angeles Hospital. i'll stay there for 3 days with the hubby at my side. no shopping, no need for a 3rd hand. this is some scarry stuff....

LMBO that's great advice we should all heed it.

Somebody needs to take out the trash.
