Im doing ok now. Surgery was 7-25-12 and Im just healing. Karen, I like dr umbach but he dissappointed me a little. All the sleeve talk was that you would be able to drink shakes after surgery but for me it wasnt. I guess for 2 wks after you cant drink more than 1 oz of water etc, and thats normal, just no one tells u, so I freaked out Still 1 month after surgery, I could barely eat or drink anything (maybe 1 cheese stick (9g of protein) and 10 oz water. He only said "Everyone heals at thier own rate!" I know he knows that all this is normal but never said anything to me. It took my pain doc to say hey you need electrolytes now cause I was getting worse (nausea & vomiting) for no reason so we decided on pedia pops and after 10 days I can finally drink 1 protein shake a day. But he helped with suggestions etc. Dr umbach deals with this daily, so Ive been a little dissappointed that he wouldnt have the suggestions. But besides that, he is a good surgeon. When is ur surgery??
