Jessi_Rae 21 Posted September 10, 2012 Hello Everyone, Im in Las Vegas, and starting my WLS journey. I met with my dietian today, and have 4 months of dieting before I can get an approval. I met with Dr. Atkins, has anyeone been sleeved by him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amykins 202 Posted September 11, 2012 I live in the Vegas area (Henderson) but went to Dr Aceves in Mexicali for my surgery. I'm a self-pay so to go to a surgeon who has done more than 1500 sleeves for 1/3 the price was a no-brainer for me. It was an excellent experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh H. 4 Posted January 11, 2013 I'm also from Las Vegas (SW) here and using Dr. Umbach. I have really enjoyed working with him and I agree Mindy is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacificpeach 32 Posted September 13, 2013 I also had my surgery by Dr Umbach on March 8, 2013. I live overseas so I don't have any contact with the office except via email. I thought Dr Umbach was a great surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. Actually, I have a few of my friends are having surgery with him soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
