smoothazz 72 Posted May 9, 2016 I've seen a few references to self pay options in Las Vegas. Does anyone have any details on this? I have a family member that is interested but is feeling intimidated by going to Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted May 9, 2016 I don't have any details per se but I know several people on the boards who went to Dr. Thomas Umbach (Blossom Bariatrics) in Las Vegas and they all had very good things to say about him and their experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted May 9, 2016 If I was going to self pay I would go to Blossom. They have a great youtube channel and they seem to be very advanced when it comes to surgery and nutrition. https://www.youtube.com/user/BlossomWeightLoss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BellaHope 7 Posted May 9, 2016 I've seen a few references to self pay options in Las Vegas. Does anyone have any details on this? I have a family member that is interested but is feeling intimidated by going to Mexico.I am scheduled for surgery June 29th at Blossom. So far my experience had been positive and the staff is great. Btw...all of his staff have had bariatric surgery so they really know what you are going through. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pr_pitbullgrl 1,039 Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) i am in vegas and did self pay. Dr Soong and Dr Atkinson are exceptional. I and two of my friends have used them and had amazing experiences and results. I was not impressed at all with Blossom - just my personal experience. I'm happy to give any details.

PdxMan 4,292 Posted May 10, 2016 I did self-pay through Blossom 5 years ago. I've dropped by when in Vegas and they are as great now as they were then. I have terrific restriction still. I would recommend Dr. Tom Umbach and his staff, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brenda Sherwood 64 Posted May 27, 2016 I am in Las Vegas and have been going to Dr Teng. I have insurance but was denied so have been considering self pay in Mexico. My dr is 12 to 15k self pay.
