Where Does The Surgeon Stats Information Come From?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Umbach. It says he has 2 years of experience and does not take out of town patients or do out patient surgery.

Well, I am 2 years and 3 months post-op (and I was definitely not his first). I flew to see him from WA state (he is in Nevada) and he offered in/out patient and I chose out-patient so that I could actually rest the first night (hate being in hospitals and they wake you up to see how you are feeling!)

Anyone else notice incorrect information about their surgeon?

Just saw them, my surgeon's is off as well, the length of time he has been doing bariatric surgery and the % of his practice is off from what I can tell.

I think in your profile now you can select who your surgeon was, they have a list. It's a pretty new feature.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
