I live in Henderson. I didn't go through any Vegas surgeons. I was self-pay since my insurance doesn't cover WLS. I went to Mexico with Dr Aceves. He was cheaper and has much more experience than any Vegas surgeons. And I wanted the three-night stay in the hospital. I hear Blossom is out-patient.

Hello I live in Las Vegas an I went through Bloosom Bariatrics an Dr. Umbach was great. It is an outpatient surgery but due to the Anesthesia my body reacted which it always do to the anesthesia I stayed for 3 days in the hospital. But he gives his patients a medicine ball to go home with so there won't be any pain.

2013. It'd be fun for some of us to get together & share stories and meet other people who have had the surgery.

I have no idea why neither maybe because he does send you home with a medicine ball for pain. But it was shocking to me to here a surgery such as this is an outpatient surgery. But I really had no pain.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
