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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
