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.

May you need a surgery to correct your head cause you aint right in the head. Omar was fine until early this year. So maybe do your research PROPERLY. as someone has told me. Dont we all have a past? Past is a past for a f**king reason. You dont bring past into present and future.

 

skullcandy ... do you mean that until early 2014 Omar was fine in terms of his legal status?  Or something different?  

 

And, out of curiosity, does anyone actually know if Omar is married with children - or not?  Some of Dr. Illan's patients think he's married, others don't.  

 

 

Ann, his wife and 3 kids are all over his facebook page.... Ergo my prior comment about how badly I feel for THEM.... Shocking behaviour.. for his wife.. and his beautiful children. What an example to be shown...

I only see kids on his fb, no wife??

Read the comments, honey, you'll soon establish that his eternally young looking lady.. is actually his wife....

Which screams the question...Why would he fall over the side, when his wife is so gorgeous and has given him 3 beautiful kids?

I am without answers for that...

I've read all the comments and all I can see is reference to his "beautiful 4 kids". So, I'm either not reading correctly or you can see more on his profile than I can.

Did you also observe all the gang related tattoos in his photos?

Are those on his fb also?? Where did you see these photo's

I don't see any - just curious if the investigative team had found those as well.

Oh ok....LOL...

And you two aren't already acquainted and tied in your 'mission', are you?!

 

Come on 'girls'... Your transparency is a bit obvious....

I'll take that as a no, madam.

Madam Reverie,

Could you please link the page you are seeing this stuff on? I don't see what you see on Omar's FB page but I am not friends with him and can only see a few pics. Does he have more than one FB page? I'm only seeing pics of his kids and 1 pic of him in a suit with no tattoos showing.

Thanks!

Actually I have no idea who the other person is....btw..you didn't answer my question Madam ;)

Can I just say this is one of the most bizzaro threads, EVER. It's 40 pages long and I haven't read all the threads but let me get this straight: Latin-lover-type Omar seduces American women then dumps them. He works for a surgeon but it's a non-US business. And the OP wants to "out" him? Is there more? I would hope to find legit info on here if I was looking to go to MX but if you're a grown woman, who falls prey to a stereotypical Don Juan, and it was consensual, what do you expect to happen? Rape is another matter entirely. But I would think people who travel to MX to have surgeries would have been prepared for avoiding the seduction part. I'm thinking of doing plastics there but I wouldn't go alone and I would be suspicious of any "personal" attention.

You can try as much as you like, love. You're gonna have to get up bloody early in the morning to have a crack at me. Be warned.

I'm off to bed now. Which, on balance, is infinitely better than entertaining a breathtakingly dull 'debate' (which would not, actually, be a debate), with you.

Have fun trying to pick an argument with yourself, you sad, sad, lady... if you're a lady ;)

TTFN :D x

Heather, read the comments.. if they haven't already been deleted. You're on the right page, you just have to delve a bit deeper than just looking at the photos.

Expect from this point, the page to be cleared... It seriously wouldn't surprise me.

I assume this wasn't directed at me but if it was, I'm not attempting debate. I just want to see what you are seeing on the FB page.
