My Dr is Dr Umbach-

You have a great one too!!!!!! So looking forward to meeting you at the OH event in May. Hope you still can get time off work to go. Me...trying to get back on track to lose few pounds before the Meet & Greet.

It will be great to meet you there.  I am having surgery 4-27-2011.  I am taking off 27-May 18 off.  I really hope I feel well enough to go.  I do have my ticket already, and I really would love to go.  How have you been?  All well here.

Yay!!!!! I am so looking forward to the event. If you're feeling tired...maybe do only even 1/2 day or little longer one of the days. Want to get the most for the money but nothing's mandatory...LOL...and if walking is a problem...maybe the casino will have a wheelchair to use and I can be your very own ICU nurse

Dr Umbach did my surgery 9-29-2010 and I had a great experience with him and the entire staff at his office and desert springs hospital.

I had my surgery the 16th I had the band at Desert Springs. It weant great and everyone at Desert Springs was great. Dr Umbach was the only surgeon that was willing to help me. I have a high bmi and a huge hernia.

Carriesb I'm happy to see that you had your surgery. I know you've been waiting a loooong time for your surgery date. Glad everything went effortlessly for you.  :)  Welcome to the losers bench.

Thanks it was quite a battle this last year but I have 100 lbs off me from all I lost pre op a year ago I was told I had permenent liver damage and now there are no traces of it. I can't wait to get the rest of the weight off.

Congrats! Keep up the good work.
