Hey Vegas Losers! Thought it would be nice to have our own group.
I just moved here in August, so I had to choose a new surgeon. I decided to go with Dr. Umbach. Turns out I probably have a leak! He has never been able to get any liquid out of my port (we've tried 3 times.)
I was banded on 1-26-11, and now I am waiting on getting a replacement. My insurance (tricare) denied it.
The surgeons office is working on getting it approved now.
