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.

I did return back to Tijuana. Three times. I also have tickets already booked to go back.

Also, Omar did not violate any medical ethics. Once again, I wasn't a patient.

I began liking him when I checked into the hotel, but he never tried anything with me, and nothing happened between us until I went back two weeks later.

I was never under the influence of any drug legal or otherwise when I made my choices.

I completely agree with you. I just wanted to get my story out there, so everyone would know that the same things happened to me and I take full responsibility for my actions and decisions.

Best of luck with the BBQ!

Just try and remember...

There are TWO sides to every story.

Darl'en, get your quotes straight.  I never wrote any such comment.  I have never met Omar nor do I have any desire to.

 

As for both sides of the story, is this what you wrote?

 

~~Once I got out of the hospital and in the hotel, he had me. Hook. Line. Sinker. ~~

 

I will ask you again, if Omar is to be excused for practicing the most basic of Medical Ethics so you could get a booty call, what other Medical Ethics should he be excused from?  You know, the same ethics as every other MD or office staff?  Why should he be excused and permitted to ditch all common sense and basic Medical Ethics yet others need to follow them?

 

However, I thank you for the story so we have more to add to the list when a report is submitted to the proper authorities. The more the better, right?

There is no question as to who I am. I was Dr. Illans first NEW ZEALAND patient. He was happy. Surgery 5th December 2013. My experience was great Omar was awesome very caring. Although he didnt need to care about me as my mum was there. That was the best mini holiday ive had. Pure awesomeness.

 

Last month me and my dad went as it was his turn to be sleeved. But this time Omar wasnt as chirpy or as happy and caring. Which I wasnt very happy with so I just cared for my dad etc. He seemed quite distant and angry alot.. okay time to finish this before I get hammered at. You all know me im guessing. Have a great day.

I'm trying to figure out how all this would go down. You are bandaged, oozy, farty, belchy, tired, pukey, and dehydrated. Sexy times.

The seven dwarves of sleeving. Yes, it is illegal to be here without id, passport, visa. Obama doesnt understand it either

Your post is confusing. I have no idea who you are or what you said in your post that you feel is going to cause you to "get hammered at". Care to elaborate?

Perhaps because it was stated that on their first time visit, Omar was 'awesome'? Although I don't find that, in itself, reason enough to fear getting 'hammered'...

Me either, very confusing.

I just take anything people are willing to offer on this thread as information.  No one who volunteers information has to submit to a deposition.  

I'm not asking for a deposition, I just don't understand why the poster felt they were going to get hammered. I really didn't understand the post in general and was hoping for better clarification so we would all understood better.

I'm going to tell you all something that happened to me this weekend. This Whitney girl, under "someone's" direction I believe, hacked my Facebook account and made a fake profile of me and sent out some very nasty telling messages to family members. She titled her message "important family information" and this was even sent to 2 of my husbands grandchildren. I am going to seek legal advise about this but I just want people to know what type of person I and others are dealing with here.

Whoa!

These are grounds for criminal charges.

Under Texas law, this is a felony. See http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.33.htm#33.07

Save / record every aspect of the fake Facebook account and the communications sent out from it.

This is batshit.

It's also unbelievably stupid.

There's no fool like one who thinks s/he is smarter than everyone else.

I notice that almost everyone who posts anything not in support of your opinions here "gets hammered". The poster was probably just bracing for accusations of having an affair with the coordinator, or being a groupie or such. Please let's all be respectful of each other's comments.

How do you know it was Whitney?

Wow! I'm so sorry! I've never had that happen, although I once got a FB warning that someone was trying to access my account from 3,000 miles away. So I can learn from your experience, how do you know who it was that hacked your account. I totally believe you, btw. I'm just wondering how you figured it out. Shellie

. Well I'm not going to give out that information, that is for law enforcement to take care of now, but rest assured, it was her and I have all the proof I need. As it turns out, it probably will be a felont charge then, because she lives in the big state of Texas!
