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.

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. :D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
