I was just sleeved on March 4 and I'm feeling great! Dr. Umbach is phenomenal (so far ). My surgery lasted about 30 minutes and I was up and walking around about an hour later. My recovery at home was good, I was at the mall shopping four days later. One week post-op I have lost 16lbs. I'm super excited for my journey and hope to get to meet you ladies as well.

Having my surgery in Las Vegas in June. When I'm able I will be going to my gym at planet fitness in Henderson. It might be fun to get together!

I live in Las Vegas and I would have went to Dr. Umbach if he wasn't so expensive. I have no doubt he is the best - I have done a lot of research and Dr. Umbach is amazing. Selected as one of Las Vegas' best doctors and I believe US News also printed an article about him.

Dr. Umbach did (not sure if he still does) perform surgeries in Mexicali.

I selected Dr. Cabrera at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana because of price and experience. I feel 100% confident that everything will be great during surgery and my recovery will also be good.

Best wishes to us all!

Compared to where i live, Dr. Umbach is not expensive at all! The only place cheaper I found was Mexico but I would prefer to stay stateside. I am thinkful to hear from those who have gone to Dr. Umbach. It is a little scary traveling so far for this to someone you have neer met... But i have researched him too and feel confident in him. I am so excited for ALL of us!!

My surgery was done in December 2013 by Dr. Umbach. He was recommended to me by a work colleague who had RNY with him. I am so grateful to have found him. He and his staff were wonderful and considering I was a self-pay patient, it was the best money I could have ever spent on myself. So nice to hear everyone who has posted had just as great an experience as I did.

I just had my two week post op with Dr.Umbach and everything went great. What I thought was odd was that I was expecting him to clear me on puréed foods but instead, said I could eat normal food! What?!! I'm not complaining, just thought it was weird. He said " you could eat puréed foods if you want but Normal food is ok to eat." Uh duh I want normal food! Lol! I also lost 21lbs since surgery which was two weeks ago.
