I don't live in Vegas. I live in Seattle. A friend of mine was sleeved by Dr. Umbach about a year & 1/2 ago and had a good experience. I had a great experience with Dr. Umbach last week. Feel free to ask specific questions. Even if you have questions about the hotel stay & recovery.

Loran,

I live in Las Vegas so I will come home after the surgey thanks. How did you do on the Pre-op shakes? I am a self pay patient my insurance does not cover the surgery so I will not meet the Dr until 3-22. So you saying it was a great experience is great to here. How are you feeling after the surgery?

Thanks

Patty

March 10th Sleevers, how are you guys doing?

Honestly, I feel terrible. Wasn't expecting this much pain. Lortab elixir makes me vomit, had to get pills instead.. Feeling stronger every day though I question why I did this?? LOL Just really sore and having a hard time getting all my liquids.

I bet when you start losing the weight you will be questioning why you didn't do it earlier!!! Hang in there, from what I have heard it does get better. Can't wait for my turn in a week.

Yea, meeting him the day before is just fine. Be sure and pay close attention in the nutrition class. Very good information. I'm 10 days post-op and feel great.

I just returned home from having surgery on 03/09/12. I feel suprisingly well. I am a bit sore around the main insicion but overall feel better than expected. I am going to take it easy and enjoy the rest of my spring break. It feels good to be on this side of the surgery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
