Topic: RE: Job is changing insurence.
Shana...find out how much Umbach will charge you for follow up care. I would probably continue to see him until you're at least a year post op. you've had no issues to this point so that's a positive.
Topic: RE: Have any Nevada people had their surgery out of state?
Dr. Dominic Ricciardi is a primary care MD who specializes in care of bariatric patients. Found out the latter totally by accident but he is pretty AWESOME
Topic: RE: Job is changing insurence.
Wow that sucks you'll have to get a provider list from the insurance but I do know a lot of Dr's won't see a patient from another Dr even for follow up. Do you know how much Dr Umbach's cash pay follow up's are?
Topic: Job is changing insurence.
I am seeing Dr. Umbach but my job is changing to Health Plan of Nevada and he don't take it. What doctors take it and how much is covered by it? I already had my done but I am looking for fellow up appointments and a co work is going to the same doc as my and is now looking for a new doc too. Thanks

Sorry but I did not go out of state. I just wanted to tell you about my doctor. Dr. Umbach Blossom Bariatrics in Henderson. 463-3300. Best of luck finding your answers and a doctor.
Topic: Have any Nevada people had their surgery out of state?
I'm not thrilled with the couple of surgeons here for the type of surgery I want. I'm looking to have the VSG done with a California doctor. My only concern is follow up care here. I'm curious what people in LV have done who've had weight loss surgery in out of state or in Mexico do. Also, I'd liked to find a primary care physician who is knowledgeable about WLS.

Judy,
That deactivated user is me..
I will be returning to the YMCA maybe this week with my OLD LADIES. I do not mind being the only young woman there, it changes every week though, sometimes there are women my age. Mostly it is older women...but I do not feel strange in the least. We are all there for the same reason, either to lose weight or maintain..or just stay healthy. You should check it out.
