Has anyone had Dr. Umbach in the last 2 years... Any words of wisdom regarding his care, staff and complications?

I went to Dr. Umbach in November, 2013.

I had an amazing experience - the staff is awesome and so is the doctor. I am very happy with my choice.

You can PM me if you have any particular questions.

My boyfriend and I just both had surgery with him September 5th, 2014. We really had a great experience. Extremely fast healing. It is out paitent surgery and when I read about others experiences... our post surgery recovery was a breeze! They are a well oiled machine when it comes to managing pain and nausea post op, epecially since it is out patient.

Getting ready to go next week (my surgery is scheduled for Oct 17th!). It has been wonderful dealing with the office thus far and I'm so happy to hear that others had a good experience there!

I'm so glad this is a post I'm scheduled with him in less than two weeks.

I guess I should update lol. I had gastric sleeve with Dr. Umbach 11/26/14 - no complications. I was outpatient. Feel free to message me with any questions that I might be able to help with! Good luck!

This is my first time on this forum so interesting to see that Umbach is discussed here. I go to one of his pre-surgery seminars this week to find out more info but have been doing a lot of research on my own.

I'm continually confounded how people can gain weight with a new 9oz stomach if they aren't very careful about what they eat. It seems that if I ate what is described in post op, I'd lose weight like crazy even w/o surgery...

      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.

      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! 😞
