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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. What are the others charging? If reasonable, maybe Ill stay home

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
