Today was the day i had my VSG surgery. My doc is Dr. Umbach at Blossom Bariatric in Henderson, UT (Vegas). He did a great job. His team and their process was very professional. My wife has been an RN for 21 years and she was very complementary of our experience.

Twelve hours post-op I feel pretty good. Breathing & Walking. Taking some med's & slowly drinking some Water.

So far, very happy with my decision to take this step & choose Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas.

First day of the rest of my life.

He was my doctor. He is great. I was sleeved on 02/22/12. It changed my life. Take your time and try to relax.

Congratulations on your surgery! So glad to hear you had a good experience at the facility and with the surgery.

Glad to hear everything went well with your surgery. Good luck on your new beginnings.

Day 3 and I feel great. Water, tea, & protein drink. My wife has been with me this weekend and she has done a great job helping me stay on track with my walking & meds. It does help that my wife is an RN. Dr. Umbach really did a great job preparing me for the weekend and dealing with the pain. No more gas pain & very little surgery pain. I walked a couple miles today. Feel great. Going home tomorrow. So far...so good.
