I live in Henderson. I didn't go through any Vegas surgeons. I was self-pay since my insurance doesn't cover WLS. I went to Mexico with Dr Aceves. He was cheaper and has much more experience than any Vegas surgeons. And I wanted the three-night stay in the hospital. I hear Blossom is out-patient.

Hello I live in Las Vegas an I went through Bloosom Bariatrics an Dr. Umbach was great. It is an outpatient surgery but due to the Anesthesia my body reacted which it always do to the anesthesia I stayed for 3 days in the hospital. But he gives his patients a medicine ball to go home with so there won't be any pain.

2013. It'd be fun for some of us to get together & share stories and meet other people who have had the surgery.

I have no idea why neither maybe because he does send you home with a medicine ball for pain. But it was shocking to me to here a surgery such as this is an outpatient surgery. But I really had no pain.

      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.
