Where Does The Surgeon Stats Information Come From?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Umbach. It says he has 2 years of experience and does not take out of town patients or do out patient surgery.

Well, I am 2 years and 3 months post-op (and I was definitely not his first). I flew to see him from WA state (he is in Nevada) and he offered in/out patient and I chose out-patient so that I could actually rest the first night (hate being in hospitals and they wake you up to see how you are feeling!)

Anyone else notice incorrect information about their surgeon?

I think in your profile now you can select who your surgeon was, they have a list. It's a pretty new feature.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
