I'm Dr. Tom Umbach. I've been doing bariatric surgery for 15 years, now, and I originally came into bariatric surgery when I did my fellowship at USC. I discovered then that they had these operations--bypass, gastric bypass--back then. These operations that can help people lose diabetes, or to help cure it or resolve it. And, so, as a general surgeon that had seen plenty of people with complications from diabetes, I was all over that. That was incredibly powerful for me.

Dr. Umbach is amazing at what he does, but what I love most is that he is so excited about helping people to change their lives.

I love it when, 6 months later, I'm seeing people in the office and they're coming back to see me and they've lost 60, 80, maybe even 100 pounds, and they've really blossomed as people. That's what I love to see. That's one of the reasons we've named our company Blossom Bariatrics.

You get to blossom into who you really are and you're not afraid to show it on the outside.

They are excited about playing with their kids and their grandkids and they can walk and they can run, and they can do these things they were not able to do beforehand.

My husband is down 110 pounds, and I, myself, am down 85. This whole experience that we've had has been a complete family life-changer.

Tuesday I had my bypass surgery; today is Friday and I've already lost 8 pounds. So, I would recommend it to anyone.

We were looking around the country for places to start a new bariatric program. Vegas came up and I was very excited from the get-go about Vegas; not because it's Vegas, but because it offers us an opportunity to develop medical tourism for our patients--where we can have a destination for patients to come to that they feel comfortable with.

It's easy to get to. It's safe. It's not in a foreign country. It had all these advantages here to start in Las Vegas with this medical tourism. So it's very easy to get in and out of Vegas for our patients. And, we thought that they would really appreciate coming to a top-notch program here in Las Vegas.

So, we have patients that come in from all over the country. In fact, we have people come in from all over the world. Most recently, we had three people come in from the Marshall Islands, up in Alaska, and I've seen people from Nigeria, and New Zealand, and all over. And, one of the benefits of that is we have a program that's been working a long time doing that, so we're able to do it smoothly and successfully.

Patients can come in--they usually come in the day before surgery, so typically we operate on Thursdays, for example, and they'd come in on a Wednesday. They'd see everybody in the office--they'd see the nutritionist, have a nutrition class, do the pre-op, go over the paperwork, and then the next day is surgery--Thursday. And, then typically for those patients, I see them Monday morning, believe-it-or-not. And, Monday morning, the patients are feeling pretty good.

They've actually done some stuff over the weekend. They've gone to Fremont Street, or gone into a casino, or something. I talked to a patient this morning and they won $147 bucks. So, they're having some fun in Vegas while they're here recovering. And, by Monday morning, they're recovered, they feel good, they look good, and they're able to go home whenever they feel up to it, which is typically Monday or Tuesday.

So, it's what--a 4 or 5 night stay in Las Vegas, and the people are ready to go back home to their families and go back to work pretty soon after that.

Hi. My name is Mary and I'm a patient of Dr. Tom Umbach's at Blossom Bariatrics.

I had my surgery July 12th, 2012, and I have lost a little under 150 lbs. I started at just about 350--I currently weight 210. I have gone up a little bit. I have gone down a little bit. But I've always gone on a steady downhill weight loss.

Had I known about this 10 years ago, I would have done it.

Dr. Tom was recommended by my insurance company and I've never had problem one from the surgery.

My whole life has changed. When they say this is a life-changing experience, it really and truly is.

How I look at food, how I value food, how I perceive food today is totally, totally changed. It is the last thing I turn to when I'm stressed out.

I look for healthy choices today, where I didn't before; and you can occasionally sneak in a cookie, trust me--you really can!

If you are overweight, if you are obese, if you are unhealthy and you're not happy looking in the mirror, give this man a call!

He literally changed my life for the better.
