I've seen a few references to self pay options in Las Vegas. Does anyone have any details on this? I have a family member that is interested but is feeling intimidated by going to Mexico.

I don't have any details per se but I know several people on the boards who went to Dr. Thomas Umbach (Blossom Bariatrics) in Las Vegas and they all had very good things to say about him and their experience.

If I was going to self pay I would go to Blossom. They have a great youtube channel and they seem to be very advanced when it comes to surgery and nutrition.

I am scheduled for surgery June 29th at Blossom. So far my experience had been positive and the staff is great. Btw...all of his staff have had bariatric surgery so they really know what you are going through.

i am in vegas and did self pay. Dr Soong and Dr Atkinson are exceptional. I and two of my friends have used them and had amazing experiences and results. I was not impressed at all with Blossom - just my personal experience. I'm happy to give any details.

I did self-pay through Blossom 5 years ago. I've dropped by when in Vegas and they are as great now as they were then. I have terrific restriction still.

I would recommend Dr. Tom Umbach and his staff, for sure.

I am in Las Vegas and have been going to Dr Teng. I have insurance but was denied so have been considering self pay in Mexico. My dr is 12 to 15k self pay. What are the others charging? If reasonable, maybe Ill stay home

      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! 😞
