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?

Just saw them, my surgeon's is off as well, the length of time he has been doing bariatric surgery and the % of his practice is off from what I can tell.

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

Yes the info on my surgeon is incorrect. It says he does not do gallbladder and he does.

      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! 😞
