Has anyone had Dr. Umbach in the last 2 years... Any words of wisdom regarding his care, staff and complications?

I went to Dr. Umbach in November, 2013.

I had an amazing experience - the staff is awesome and so is the doctor. I am very happy with my choice.

You can PM me if you have any particular questions.

My boyfriend and I just both had surgery with him September 5th, 2014. We really had a great experience. Extremely fast healing. It is out paitent surgery and when I read about others experiences... our post surgery recovery was a breeze! They are a well oiled machine when it comes to managing pain and nausea post op, epecially since it is out patient.

Getting ready to go next week (my surgery is scheduled for Oct 17th!). It has been wonderful dealing with the office thus far and I'm so happy to hear that others had a good experience there!

I'm so glad this is a post I'm scheduled with him in less than two weeks.

I guess I should update lol. I had gastric sleeve with Dr. Umbach 11/26/14 - no complications. I was outpatient. Feel free to message me with any questions that I might be able to help with! Good luck!

This is my first time on this forum so interesting to see that Umbach is discussed here. I go to one of his pre-surgery seminars this week to find out more info but have been doing a lot of research on my own.

I'm continually confounded how people can gain weight with a new 9oz stomach if they aren't very careful about what they eat. It seems that if I ate what is described in post op, I'd lose weight like crazy even w/o surgery...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
