Hey Vegas Losers! Thought it would be nice to have our own group. teeth_smile.gif

I just moved here in August, so I had to choose a new surgeon. I decided to go with Dr. Umbach. Turns out I probably have a leak! He has never been able to get any liquid out of my port (we've tried 3 times.)

I was banded on 1-26-11, and now I am waiting on getting a replacement. My insurance (tricare) denied it. !.gif The surgeons office is working on getting it approved now.

Hi Amberakamom!

Welcome to Las vegas! I have been here 5 years. Dr. Soong is my surgeon. I do go to Dr. Umbach's office to purchase my shake mix since his office is closer to my house! :)

I was banded 12-01-2010. I have lost over 200 pounds in the 14 months since surgery. I finally feel in control of my life!

How did you know you had a leak? Any symptoms?
