Topic: RE: Pre-Op with Dr. Kent Sasse in Reno Nevada
It seems at this point of time you had your first consult and I am sure you have discovered like the rest of us who go there, its a wonderful place. With sasse you are in fantastic hands. My experience with hometown health in the past the one thing i have to say is make sure you have the 6 month diet completed and documented. Other than that I hope your experience was great and look forward to checking in on your journey.

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.

Shana...Ashley had her surgery at Desert Springs. She's only 31 yo and shouldn't be going through this. She had surgery up in UT. few weeks ago for yet ANOTHER hernia repair. I'm not talking "crap" about any surgeon...but Dana's right on...everyone just RESEARCH.
Ashley has never been through any surgery easily...and for the record...there is NOT a suit against Dr. U by her(attorneys said not worth their time in NV. due to malpractice cap)

Hello,
They keep telling my that I have to pay for it up front. But it is not to bad 1000.00. I thought it was going to be 3500.00,is a lot easier coming up with 1000. Did you like the care? What doc did you use? Thanks talk soon.
